How many times have you been in the middle of a printing an important paper and the dreaded "Low Ink Cartridge" message appears on your computer screen? You think to yourself, "What are my options, and where can I get this thing filled at 3:00a.m?"
In today's economy, one should forever be on the lookout for methods of saving money on consumable goods. One example is the quandary of an empty ink jet cartridge. Many options are available to resolve this matter and many of us prefer to wander into Wal-mart and pick up a new cartridge. The obvious problem with this solution remains: Many times the replacement cartridge (if they have one in stock) is more expensive than replacing the printer. Even I am guilty of choosing the latter option, but this leads to overstuffed landfills and Salvation Army Thrift Store shelves. One can always take their depleted cartridge to the local computer merchant for refilling, or order refilled cartridges from some anonymous Internet website, but then again these take time and may not be the most cost effective approach. I propose to offer a more practical solution to this inevitable (and almost always) inconvenient dilemma. It is possible to refill your own ink jet cartridges and do so without a degree in quantum physics.
Your first step in tackling this seemingly daunting task, is to open the front cover on your printer and see how many cartridges are present. Some printers have one cartridge for black ink, and one cartridge for the tri-colored (red, yellow, blue) ink. Others have one cartridge that uses the tri-colored ink to produce all colors as well as black. Write down the make, model number and any identifying numbers of the printer cartridges so you will be sure that the refill kit can be used with your particular model.
Once you have identified your printers cartridge capacity, the next step is to obtain an ink jet cartridge refill kit. These kits are readily available at all major merchants sporting a computer or electronics department or your local computer shop. They are very inexpensive compared to the pre-filled cartridges, and will refill most cartridges several times. Please be aware that most refill kits contain either black ink or the tri-colored inks but not both. You may have to purchase both types depending on your model of printer. The newer kits contain all the necessary tools and instructions for filling most major brand printer cartridges. Be sure to check the packaging for your printer manufacturer listing and the contents of the kit.
With kit in hand, you are ready to get to the nuts-and-bolts of the process. You will need a well lighted, uncluttered work area, newspapers or paper towels to protect the surface in the event of a accidental spill.
If you have not already done so, remove the cartridges from the printer. If you are unsure how to do this, refer to the manufacturer's documentation for assistance. Most printer cartridges have foam inside acting as a sponge to retain the ink. Accessing this foam is varied according to the printer type. Some cartridges, like Hewlett Packard for example, you will just need to remove the cartridge label in order to access the refill holes. Others, such as Lexmark require that the cap of the cartridge be removed with a special tool included in the refill kit. This tool resembles and acts like a bottle opener to facilitate the cap removal. Canon cartridges have small ports under the label, but the small BB-like metal ball must be dislodged and pushed into the cartridge before filling it. Others require you to drill a new hole with a small tool in the kit.
Now you are ready for the refilling process. Depending on the kit you purchased, the ink may be in small bottles with or without the filling needle attached. If not, a syringe is included to accomplish this. If the latter option is the case, fill the syringe with the desired ink color. Place the needle portion into the refill hole and push it down into the foam. Note: On tri-colored cartridges, you will have to identify which color you are filling by inspecting the inner foam under well-lit circumstances. There may be multiple holes for the red (magenta), blue (cyan), and yellow colors. Slowly squeeze the bottle, or push the syringe plunger as the case may be, being careful not to overfill the cartridge. Normally cartridges will accept between 2-4 ounces of ink. Once filled, place the cartridge on a paper towel or newspaper as sometimes the newly filled cartridge may leak momentarily. Once it stops, gently clean excess ink off of the print head, replace the cap, label, or plug, insert the cartridge into the printer and you are almost done!
Cleanup will be easier if the ink is not allowed to dry. Soap and water or a mild cleanser will generally do a fine job of removing ink from hands and countertops. The final phase of the operation will be to print a test page in order to assess your performance. Just click Start>Settings>Printers. Select the printer in question by right-clicking and choosing properties. This should open the printer commands and under the general tab, you will find the "Print test page" button.
You are now an expert at the cartridge refilling game. You also saved yourself enough money to and can reward yourself for a job well done. As in any do-it-yourself project, it requires a little effort, but the savings convenience and satisfaction are well worth it. Home businesses have been started with this very idea, so do not discount your accomplishments.

How to Sell like a Pro on eBay
There isn't a week that goes by without someone asking me how to sell products on eBay. It's a great question! And I enjoy talking about the topic quite a bit, but my answer is always the same - sell like a Powerseller! Here's what I mean...
An eBay Powerseller is someone that generates $1000 or more in sales for three consecutive months. You don't have look too far on eBay to realize that the place is literally crawling with Powersellers.
I've spent over 5 years studying eBay, as well as, buying and selling products under several eBay IDs. I noticed that there are two types of eBay Powersellers:
1. Niche Powersellers
2. On-Demand Powersellers
The Niche Powersellers specialize in a particular area - like antiques, coins, dolls, etc. This particular area is a hobby to these people and they are very good at finding products at a low enough cost within this market to sell for a nice profit. These Powersellers are hard to imitate.
One the other hand, the On-Demand Powersellers are not very familiar with the products they sell, but they are very familiar with what the eBay community wants and how they can go about getting it. I call them On-Demand Powersellers because they seek out products to sell based on the level of demand inthe eBay community. These are the Powersellers that you should try to follow.
A common misconception that new eBay users have is thinking that all Powersellers are large retail outlet doing business on eBay. This simply isn't true. The majority of the Powersellers that I know typically run their business out of a basement or garage. Ebay has a great way of leveling the playing field in this respect. For example, a student can open an account and create ads that are just as enticing as any large company that happens to be selling the same products on ebay.
So how can you do business like On-Demand Powersellers?
That's actually an easy question to answer; obtain a seller's permit, find a demand for a particular product, and then find a wholesale supplier for that particular product.
A seller's permit will allow you to purchase products for wholesale from wholesale venders. This is the first thing any legitimate wholesale company will ask for, and if you don't have one, they could very likely not do business with you.
You can obtain a sellers permit here
You can find the demand for numerous products on eBay by using the eBay 'Hot Items' resource (in link below). This resource consists of (among other things) a 40+ page pdf document that lists which items are hot sellers in the numerous categories. The data is usually for the previous 2 months.

After you've identified which items were hot sellers, go to eBay's Advance Search and conduct a search for those products to make sure they're still hot sellers (have plenty of bids). Also do a search for the same product with the 'Completed Items' option in the Advanced Search checked. This will show you which auctions sold and how much they sold for.
Once you have a product in mind, do a search on Google for the manufacture of the product. When you get to the website, look for a contact number, or a 'Dealer inquiry' number. This information is also usually on the box of the product itself, so it may take a run to your local store if you don't have any luck on the web.
Give them a call. Inform them that you run a business and are interested in becoming a dealer of the product. Most are very helpful in getting you setup. However, be aware, some may have a minimum purchase order. Never the less, if you did your eBay research correctly, you'll know how much these items have recently sold for, and how much they are currently selling for, thus, you can be pretty confident that the money will be made back.
I recently came across two Powersellers that are extremely successful doing with this process. One Powerseller had sold over $100,000 worth of those little robotic-vacuuming-Frisbee thingies in 60 days! The other Powerseller does extremely well selling dog chews. Both Powersellers simply identified the demand for these products, then sought out the manufactures and became dealers... the rest is history.
Sincerely,
Michael Ellis
