Cheap printer cartridges

ShortStuff · 30-06-2004, 20:13

Because of all the pictures of my little niece Nina I've been printing off lately - I now require a black & colour cartridge for my Epson printer. Anyone know where I could get them cheap?

computer fair at colne municiple hall, held every 2 or 3 weeks on a Sunday, I have 6 cartridges in mine epson originals are £11 each (£66!!) and I get a set of 6 there for £22 and they are good quality, I print lots of photo's and they come out great, If its not a photo quality printer you can buy ink and refil them

How about getting them refilled? There's a shop in Blackburn where you can have them refilled but I can't just remember what it's called.

Oh Doug - now I have to get off my chair and look under the computer desk!......................It's a Epson Stylus C42UX - it won't let me get to the cartridges at the moment so can't tell you the details.

The shop in Blackburn is called "Cartridge World" but I don't advise you to use it. I used to use my local "Cartridge world" in Beds and I am sure that the ink does not last anywhere near as long as an original cartridge. Also, if there is a delay between running out and refilling, the remaining ink in the cartridge dries out and quality is therefore poor.

Thanks Busman.
I was going to try it but I think I'll give it a miss now.

Shortstuff, we all need the exercise these days.

I only asked as I have an Epson C80 & an old 600 that I am not using at the moment, I thought that I could bring you the cartridges over but there not going to fit.

But I take great pleasure in the knowing that I have done a little something to improve your health…..Hahaha

I went to get Anne some more ink today and got talking to the guy in the shop
anyway it ended up i gave him a card for Accyweb and told him to come on
so hopfully with a bit of luck we might get a discount on ink
lets see
if all accyweb use him for there ink then i think there is a good chance your ink will be cheaper
Its on Blackburn RD just past the post office on the same side
