Hello, I am looking to start reselling ink cartridges to my clients. They have HP, Lexmark, Canon, Epson printers. I would definitly need quality cartridges.. but if there is no profit margin for me.. there would be no point :)

Do you'll have any suggestions on websites that have quality/inexpensive ink cartridges.. and possibly ones that give price breaks for big orders?

thanks-Lee

I have been looking at them.. but they don't support lexmark, and don't support hp (or just don't have mayn other their cartridges)

So i guess, the next question would be... who sells inexpensive/quality hp or lexmark cartridges? :)

Refill them yourself - cut out the middleman.

Search ebay for 'empty cartridges'

I had a cheap Lexmark printer, but ink was very costly. I bought an Epson 880 for 100 bucks, and with ink cartridges for 2 and 3 dollars, I think my investment paid off quickly. I use Tyler Martin ink, and it works just fine. I grab it off ebay. 8 black, 8 color and shipping for about 40 bucks. Can't beat it.

Lexmark and HP are largely refill kit markets as the print heads are built into the cartridges. Just get a new OEM cartridge and refill it 5-10 times - or offer the refill service yourself. You can get bulk inks, refilling stands, etc. Lexmark aggressively pursues people that try to offer compatible carts. And warn your customers off the Dell versions of the Lexmark printers as the carts are just enough different that you have to buy them from Dell.
. There is a site on the web that has a pretty extensive comparison of 3rd party ink and cartridge suppliers just do a google for it.

There's the :sun: !

I just ordered the set for the Epson Stylus Photo RX500, which takes six individual cartridges. $12+ a piece at staples = I got 2 full sets and 2 extra black cartridges (14 cartridges total) for $80.00. They should get here in the next couple of days, i'll post and update once i install a set of them.

They are rated pretty highly on resllerratings.com and from the reviews i've read the ink is good quality and the company is reliable.
