What are the benefits of using pen refills?

There are a number of advantages to using pen refills in any type of pen. A couple of them are obvious, but some may not be and in this article, we take a look at what these advantages are and how they can benefit you.

Environmentally friendly

This may be an advantage that you may not have thought of but ink refills can actually be beneficial to the environment. By constantly disposing of old pens, you will be adding to the already vast amounts of rubbish that are in our landfill sites and rubbish dumps. Using ink refills will mean that you are reducing the amount of waste that is being added to these sites and if you refill your pens with ink and reuse them, then you will be cutting down on wastage even more.

Easy to find replacements

Buy in bulk at cheap prices Ink refills and pen ink are very easy to find with a massive number of stores, both on the High-Street and online as well as supermarkets that stock them. For those companies that use a lot of pens, by ordering ink refills in advance, you can insure that you don't run out of ink and by buying in bulk you can often get a very cheap deal from stationary companies. For those looking for refills for more expensive types of pen, places that sell refills might be harder to find and will most likely be more expensive, but it is worth looking for specialist shops or websites in order to meet your requirements.

Cost-effective

Buying ink refills instead of new pens can become extremely cost-effective, especially with regards to the more expensive types of pens. The cost and the hassle it takes to find specialist pens is far greater than it can be to source ink cartridges, because most brands make their brands to fit only a few type of cartridges. Furthermore, by becoming dedicated to using ink refills, it is unlikely that you will be as lax when it comes to throwing or losing pens because you would have put in the effort of buying the refills which will also save you money in the long run.
