In case this happens to you as it did me. I freaked out when the "empty" ink cartridge left black ink all over my hands and lots of it. I tried soap, nail polish remover, gasoline, mineral spirits to no avail. What worked was a wet rag with bleach on it. Whew! I was worried.

Another trick I learned from our printer and copier expert at work... if you get toner on your clothing, blot with soap and COLD water because heat is what sets the ink to materials.

Save Money When Printing
Never buy a computer printer based on the sale price. It totally doesn't matter. One company in particular *coughHPcough* puts their printers on sale at super low cost. That's because they don't make their money selling printers, they make money selling INK! Next time you want a printer, go to the ink aisle to find the cheapest ink cartridge and buy the corresponding printer. Of course I have a cousin so bitter that rather than buying $30 ink refills, he buys $32 printers every time 246
One quick way to save some cash is to recycle your old ink cartridges, printers, computers, etc. for cash towards your next purchase. For instance, Staples gives $2 staples rewards for each recycled ink cartridge. HP will issue cash/credit for recycled printers, computers, etc. What a great way to help the environment, as well as save you some money!

I return used ink cartridges to Staples for 3 dollars each, sometimes 6 dollars each, (maximum 10 per month) and receive a check to use on future ink purchases. Today I used my check to purchase 3 new ink cartridges specifically made for my printer.
