There must be a place for the cheapest cartridges.
If you know it, please post here.

I've also heard people that refill them with kits. Anyone know if thats worth it ?

Thanks all.

I get mine from UKDVDR, my Epson R300 uses 6 carts. they sell them for less than a fiver for all 6 including an extra black.

Anyone recommend a good online ink cartridge supplier (that is up to date).

I get original manufacturer ones off eBay - dirt cheap.

Re: Where do you get your print cartridges from ?

Jettec are renowned for blocking epson printheads, I speak from experience aswell as hear say. They killed my 1520 stylus inside 2 months. Jettec will also fail to honour their warranty, which is their reason for being over priced compared to other brands.

Im currently using the datasafe compatables with my R300 from svp and have had no problems so far, but im on my first set of that brand still. I used the IMJet from svp before these and they gave no problems, a friend of mine is allways getting them from Ebay, but I hear theirs differences in how much the tanks have been filled on them. At the end of the day Epsom originals are almost as dear as buying a new printer for a full set, unless its something like a 1520 which is ridiculous, if you can get away with 3-4 sets of compatables minimum youve saved a fortune. You can also get flush tanks to clean the epsom heads which you should probably do every 4-5 set changes anyway. Printer manufacturers attitude is not much different to console makers, give the hardware away and cream in from the consumables, if you use compatables your warranty will be void, so theres a saving for epsom.
