HP cartridges are always a lot more expensive than epson ones, harder to refill etc i guess. You could watch ebay like a hawk, there are some good printer offers on there sometimes :)

Frankly I think that would be too time consuming and expensive considering that a straight replacement would cost me about £30-£40.


So should I get another Epson or go with a new make bearing in mind that (as happened last time) I've hardly any spare cash?

Anyone got any suggestions?
