Where do you get your print cartridges from ?
 
I've come to the conclusion that I am spending far too much on Print cartridges. I have the HP Deskjet 930C printer and it takes one black and one MultiColour cartridge.

The colour costs over £30 and I'm sure there must be some cheaper places. I'm tempted to try the Tesco ones that do the same. Does anyone know if they are any good ?

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.

Halcyon.

I did try years ago to fill my own but..... the ink eventually blocked the jets of my epson :dozey:

Believe it or not its a copyright issue why hewlet packard and lexmarks cartridges are so expensive(pattern parts)The copyright is in the print head,cheap epson and canon cartridges do not have the print head attached and this is where they differ.Manufacturers slightly alter the design of the reservoir so they dont break copyright,of course print heads can't be copied differently or they would not work.

I use a epson R300 5 colours and a black and the total set cost me £7 quid , mind you I do have a buddy owns a consumerables shop lol lol

Well when you're a tight wad like me..... :) They're really good - quick delivery and no hassle. I like the way their website looks like the office junior did it too!

The last HP cartridge I bought was from www.savastore.com
Even with delivery it was cheaper than the same product at Tesco's.

Slightly tangential to topic, but I use these people for laser toner refills. I have the samsung where you just prise off a cap and pour the new toner in.

I have found a couple of sites for Epson CX6600 printer cartridges (yes I know, but we cannot afford, and nor do we need to replace it at the mo).

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

Thanks

I get original manufacturer ones off eBay - dirt cheap.

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.
