Hi guys :D

Was wondering if I could tap into your knowledge and find the cheapest prices for ink cartridges for an Epson Stylus C64! :)

Thanks very much

    Hi,
    I buy all my Epson Ink from eBay. Make sure you are buy Epson and check the feedback of the seller. My Ink carts for the R300 costs £75.00 in the shops. On eBay they cost around £25 - £30.00 and they are the real thing.

    Genuine Epson cartridges are a complete Rip-Off. I have used compatible cartridges in my Epson Stylus Photo 790 with results equal to genuine cartridges.

    Try 7dayshop who sell compatibles from £0.99 each.

    If you search on Epson or consumables there is a "great epsom catridge hunt" thread.

    I have just used inkraider.co.uk for my Stylus 480 Colour.

    Got a black and a colour from the mid range replacement generic lot for £5.22 delivered.

    I totally agree. I also buy all my Epson r300 cartridges off ebay, the genuine ones, not copies

    At the prices I pay on ebay for cartridges - genuine ones - I woudl not call them a rip off. Having used compatible ones before I have seen the results and there are alot more faults with them. Having worked for WHS and seen the amount of remanufactured cartridges that were returned because they were faulty I would never recommend shops own - I always did when I worked there but the day I left, well I changed! Plus the profit margins that high street shops make on their own cartridges is circa the 90% mark.
