Also, ink refill kits are available which allow people to refill cartridges at home thereby saving a lot of money. an ink refill kit can be bought for $21.

On the other hand, replacement of the toner and cartridge can cost around hundreds of dollars.

The screwdriver is used for removing the screws to take of the cover of the toner cartridge as well as removing the toner refill plug by using a thin piece of plastic much like a credit card.
After the removing the plug one just has to pour in the ink through a funnel taking care not to spill any outside. The paper towel is used for cleaning one’s hands while also removing any dirt particles on the cartridge. On the other hand, printer ink refill kit comes with a set of instructions as well as providing an extremely convenient way of refilling one’s cartridge.
