Buying printer inks

[V6GTO]

Can't reccomend these guys high enough.

www.printerinks.com

Pixmania et al quote £8 per pot for my Canon i9950. These guys are £3:95 and it's 2 for 1 at the moment.

They're not Canon inks though! I really wouldn't risk 3rd party in my 9950. 7DayShop do oem for £5.95

Wouldn't really like to try 3rd party inks to be honest, can't really guarantee the colour matching and I would spend more of my life profiling...

Intersting that they claim the "MSRP" for a cartridge for the R1800 is £43 !!!! They are only £11 from epson.co.uk !!!!

I have an HP and cartridges are £loads. However I've tried various types of non-OEM lookalikes and refills and all have let me down, well at least the colour ones. Hence I now bite the bullet and buy the proper ones, because I don't need the hassle of, for example, the yellow conking out halfway through every photo. Luckily I only use about 3 sets of cartridges a year.

Does anyone know whether the 3rd party inks for the pigment-based Epson printers like the R800/R1800 are pigment inks too?

Jet-tec are but never used them

I always use www.mx2.com - based offshore - very cheap branded inks and paper.
