Gone were the days when we had to purchase very expensive printers as well as very expensive ink cartridges. With the rising demand of printing needs for school and work, it is just timely to save on costs but never to compromise its quality and performance.

 

Hewlett-Packard Philippines just launched its new Ink Advantage printer series with great savings on printing costs up to 50%, with cost-per-page as low as PhP 0.63. Ink cartridges surprisingly has dropped to as low as PhP390 each. Truly amazing, isn't it? The old HP LaserJet printer, which was introduced to the market in 1984, has put the dot-matrix printers to an end. Since then, HP continues to make innovations on its products to meet clients' needs.

The new HP Ink Advantage cartridges still offer the same exceptional quality and reliability for everyday printing jobs that use the same dual-drop volume technology also found in other Original HP inks.
