Re: epson printers anyone

I have an Epson R300, excellent printer, use original ink for doing photo's to be displayed otherwise use compatible's, there is a difference but its not much, you can set a profile to get it right but it takes time. Paper is as important as the inks, theres a lot of crap about! I only use Epson and Printasia paper now

I can't be assed with refills.

He He..............you on commission (joke) but must say I like the buy one, get one free bit, supermarkets only do it with coke or similar, never do it with the good stuff

I wish Park.......! but if I get a good service or a bargain I like to give others the chance to try it too. My mission in life is to make a difference.....even though I am a cynical old bu**er

I wonder if Eco does a postal service for non Accy residents? He's a member of AccyWeb but I haven't seen him post for ages.

I wish an all, but think you're right, the older you get the more cynical, that's what I keep getting told. :D

I get my compatible inks from the Cartridge People......wonderful service, they deliver the next day and no post and package charges. Give 'em a try www.cartridgepeople.com

I checked the price for my printer and found http://www.inkjet-cartridges.co.uk/ could do it for half the price of http://www.cartridgepeople.com/, might be worth having a look at Margaret.

Re: epson printers anyone

I have for 2 years been buying a printer (HP, Lexmark, Canon.) and after being stung for the cartridges (yes tried refills and copys) Just left them in a cupboard..:( And bought a new one...(Anyone need a printer without ink)
Just bought a Epson C46..(£42 on b/burn rd) And the ink is lasting ages :) And the quality of photo prints is AMAZING...AMAZING.... Using the highest setting on Ilford paper ..:) Really impressed...

Have been printing off loads of pics that have spent ages on my computer.... I FEEL FREE :)

Look forward to seeing if the £3 copy refills do the same quality....????

Re: epson printers anyone

Just looked, and yes they do appear cheaper...... but they are out of stock for my model of printer........I got TWO colour cartridges and one Black for £37:95......and the colour cartridges have 19mls as opposed to the usual 17 mls so they last a bit longer. I will certainly bear them in mind when I am next needing carts.

I have an Epson Stylus Color 300 which is a bit old now, but it lasted me for ages with no trouble at all. I bought it for over £100, so it gives you an idea of how long ago I bought it!

It started making crunching noises a few months back, so I thought it might be a good idea to replace it - we got a photo quality one as we have we digital camera now.

For my next photo printer I want one with separate ink tanks. I have an HP with this, and it really saves on ink, as you only need to replace the ink that runs out.

For some reason the magenta runs out quicker than the others (except black, of course)...

Re: epson printers anyone

I have that problem too.....magenta always dies first.
