Title: Wich printer ink is the cheapest
Post by: H20cleaning on June 01, 2014, 09:23:55 pm
I made the silly mistake of buying a cheap advent printer a few years back and the busier im getting the more annoying it is paying £27 for colour ink and £19 for black....
Im now looking for the cheapest ink regardless of the price of printer??

cannon are normally cheap copy ink. Got a Epson now but copy ink isn't as good. Cheap as chips on flea bay. Black and White is fine

Tesco ink refills, about £5, refill your cartridges about 3 times.
I've been using the same cartridge for about 2 years, saved a fortune.

Have a look on ebay and see if you can find cheaper refilled versions that are compatible with your printer.

Or just buy a new printer that you can get cheap ink for.  I think you can pick up a printer for about £30.

Type the exact specification of your printer into ebay and you'll no doubt find what you're looking for.  I think I pay about £20 for three extra large (like extra filled) black inks; and they work fine.  The normal price is £20 for one.

I've got a Canon.
Great bit of kit.
I've used the genuine ones and fakes.
I've used the fake ones for over a year-problem free.
25 cartridges, including a 21ml black for £15.
Well pleased.

Too right!
I was always skeptical but a full of set Canon's is £39 but a full set of fakes is £3.
Thought I'd take a punt a year ago-never looked back.

No need to ever buy the original and massively overpriced cartridges anymore. I have used these guys for a few years with no issues at all. A saving of over 80% on the cost of the manufacturers cartridges.

I used to have a HP but its costs too much EVEN the refills.

After some research I bought a Epson 315 for £50 and the ink on amazon or ebay.  you can get about £20 of ink and it should last about 6 months. 

I have a whole box of different inks now and just print off my invoices in colour LOL.

I've got an Epson SX430 - not an amazing printer, but it does what I need it too & it was bought specifically for cheap ink - I buy off ebay and if I get 20 cartridges or more at a time I end up paying about £1.10 each including postage. No messing about with resetting chips either, they just pop in & work. :)

I found inkjet printers a complete nightmare due to clogging ink, laser all the way for me.  :)

I have a HP envy 4500! It only takes hp cartridges and will not operate on any other cartridge. I pay £3.49 per month to HP and that allows me 100 prints of anything and I am able to carry over all unused prints to the next month. You never run out of ink as HP send you new cartridges automatically when you start to run low.
