Ink Cartridges: Any recommendations?

Re: Ink Cartridges: Any recommendations?

I use a Continuous Ink System (CIS) since 2008, they are available for all Epsons. The running costs are much lower than using compatibles or refills and you don't have to worry about buying ink for a long time, when you're about to run out, you just buy another ink bottle of the colour(s) you need. The inks can last almost forever. A CIS will set you back around £50 to start with but you won't be spending any more for a long, long time. This compares very favourably with the ob$cene price of original Ep$on cartridge$$$!

Both my CISS came from Ebay.

See my post above. I get compatibles at Asda for my Epson and save £5.00 on a multipack of three colour cartridges and £2-£3 per cartridge on black.

I tried that nearly 15 years ago, never again!!! When it came to the cyan ink, something went terribly wrong between the needle and the sponge inside the cartridge, resulting in a cyan parrot wearing cyan clothes in a cyan room! :Cry: :bathbaby: :yuck:

That sounds more like a memory or print-head problem than a cartridge problem, FP.

I don't mean the printouts were all cyan, I probably wouldn't remember that after all these years, I mean I was all covered in cyan and so was the whole room! Cyan ink everywhere! When the Needle touched the sponge, the ink started squirting out! :rant::bathbaby:

Silly Cloggy! :rofl:I meant a person as opposed to a recording which seems to be the norm these days, you know the sort of thing: press 1 for this, press 2 for that, press 3 for the other! :rant: :rant:

press 3 for the other!

I'd press 3, even though I'd doubt that "the other" can be delivered over the phone. :rofl:
