Are you using Lexmark 150XL ink cartridges and still paying at exorbitant prices? Perhaps you’re not aware of their return program cartridges. Compared to a regular replacement these products are also brand new and are genuine from the materials they’re made of. Even the ink inside these cartridges is the very special pigment that Lexmark produced.
What’s the difference of a return program cartridge from a regular cartridge?
Basically and technically they are of the same type. The deal between the manufacturer and the customer makes these two items different. Lexmark RPCs (return program cartridges) are bound to be recycled only by Lexmark. Hence, when a customer would prefer such, a special discount will be given in exchange for the agreement that the item will be returned only to them. Regular cartridges on the other hand are pricier over the RPCs since they are not bounded to any agreement. However, if the customer would like to return the item for recycling, they can still send it back at no cost at all.
It’s more like they’re mandatory pushing their customers to participate in their recycling program. In a way it’s a good thing, and may be considered a win-win relationship between the manufacturer and the consumer. We get discount for accepting the agreement, while they get they will get what they need from us.
Isn’t it ironic that Lexmark had to do this just to let their customers practice recycling? Although on second thought, if a cartridge has been recycled then it should be more affordable than a branded one. Such that the material used to produce a reprocessed product came from empty cartridges, which are obviously cheaper to utilize for manufacturing new supplies.
To give you a clearer picture of what we’re talking about, we provide a comparison of prices between an RPC and a regular Lexmark 150XL ink.

Now what would you prefer buying? Would you still continue buying the regulars or switch to RPC and make a good choice not only for yourself but also for the environment? Customers deserved some benefits once in a while, and this is considered as one. Practically we should really learn to reused and recreate out of our own waste. What more can be better than this, getting discount without compromising the quality.
