Printer Ink
 
Where is the best site to buy printer ink from?

i used to buy it from a site called inkraiders.co.uk but it doesn't seen to exist any longer.

Good quality compatible inks would be welcome.

Thanks.

Compatible with what type of printer would be a good place to start when asking for info.

Got my Brother compatible inks from Amazon, not tried them yet, waiting for the originals to run out.

Canom Pixma G5050...

Amazon £14.59 for a full set

eBay £16.49 for 2 x full sets

What about a set of originals for the G5050?

I will never buy another inkjet printer and if I want any photos printed better than what my laser can do (which is pretty good on heavy laser photo paper) I will go to Asda

Are the latest Canons reservoir cartridges or proper cartridges ? A lot of them leave the printer head in place and it never gets changed and wears out gets clogged and then well I am sure we have all had to run endless print head cleaning cycles on fixed head printers

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Sorry to be of no use.

periodically I would flush the system although it all depends on useage and amount of time sat not used

Much like Jaymoss, I use my laser a lot of the time, or if I want better quality, local or online printing services.
