There are two schools
of thought when it comes to what happens to an ink cartridge after
its ink has been used up. A group of people promotes the idea of
reusing such cartridges by replacing some parts of it and refilling
it with ink. Others believe it is far better to replace ink
cartridges entirely to assure the quality of the ink produced by the
cartridge.
Both ideas are equally
useful, each having its own share of strengths and weaknesses. It
must be noted, however, that not all ink cartridges are open to such
options.
The ink cartridges of
Hewlett-Packard printers are a different case entirely. It is
ill-advised to even try and refill HP ink cartridges, as the move can
affect the overall performance of the refilled HP cartridge. The
company reasons that even if refilled or remanufactured cartridges
are cheaper than new ones, the quality of the print output of
refilled cartridges will still be inferior to the output of new ones.
If HP did not decide to
finally recycle their used cartridges, their philosophy will most
certainly be under fire all the time. However, HP established a
cartridge recycling plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, where a multitude of
used cartridges are disassembled or shredded to form newer
cartridges. This effort by HP to make a compromise to help the
environment and still provide ink supplies of good quality is an
admirable act.
