Cedar Rapids residents looking to save money on printer ink might be interested in taking advantage of inkjet refill services. While the quality of refill ink is often insufficient for printing photos and important graphic documents, many people do find that refill ink offers acceptable results for ordinary black and white text printing.

In the Cedar Rapids area, you can find inkjet refills at:

Cartridge World
2210 Edgewood Rd SW, Suite 200
Cedar Rapids, IA 52404

Rapid Refill Ink
1388 Twixt Town Road
Marion, Iowa 52302

Walgreens
2821 1st Ave Se
Cedar Rapids, IA 52402

If you're not convinced refill ink is the right choice for your printing needs, the best way to save money on printer ink is to use the "draft" setting for documents of low importance and to set your printer to print everything in grayscale by default. Since color ink is often more expensive than blank ink cartridges, you'll save money simply by reducing the number of times your color cartridge must be replaced.
