Printer Ink.

[Neil]

Hi peeps.

I've got an Epson Stylus CX6400, & I'm gonna need to replace the ink cartridges real soon.

I wondered if any of you could recommend anywhere to buy, & any specific recommendations?

Cheers

N.

I have used these http://www.inkcycle.co.uk/ in the past

PCworld or the equivalent, or Maplins, will usually stock epson own cartridges or their own brand at slightly lower prices. In the past I've always found that WHSmith have the best prices.

But, ever thought about refilliing your own? I've just started doing this, it's quite easy and the refill ink which costs about the same as one cartridge has enough ink for about 6 refills. Haven't noticed any difference in print quality either.

i did do that a few years a go but when the printer wasn't used for a month or so the heads clogged up and i could not clear them (new printer)
I have since found out that SOME cheap cart's do dry up if not used

I think you'll find that all ink cartridges dry up if unused for a few weeks, the point about refills is that the printer heads are usually built into the cartridge, heads wear, new cartridge new heads.

Only use substitute cartriges if your waranty has run out. Most leak all over the place and clog the heads.

I buy mine at CostCo, usually about 15% cheaper (after VAT) than most places.

I would recommend you use the manufacturers own cartridges rather then equivalents (and paper) if you want the 'Best' results, in my experience the cheaper euivalent carts don't last as long and are not 'quite' the same quality.
