I wanna buy ink for my dell 720 photoprinter

Hi I need to buy replacement ink for my printer as I only paid £10 for it. I don't want to spend a fortune on the ink. where's the cheapest place online to buy please.

You can (afaik) only buy them from Dell themselves. However, I understand that you can modify the lexmark catridges to fit. Unfortunately, lexmark catridges themselves arn't a great deal cheaper (around £15 for a black cartridge) and compatibles are not quite as widely available.

My advice would be to look for a cheap epson or canon printer instead - you should be able to pick up a brand new epson for around the £30 mark, but the catridges can be had very cheap (some models you can get new catridges for around 70p).

I guess it depends how often you use it - if it's only a couple of pages a month, then sticking with the Dell wouldn't be a bad idea. However, if you're going to be replacing the catridge every month, or more, then an alternative printer is the way to go.

hi,

thechillpill has got it just about spot on - had one at work when they bought a dell machine and is fine for drafts/general a4 printing just nowt technical.

But you don't need to modify the cartridges at all - believe you need lexmark carts 10 (black) and 24 (colour). can get the black for £18 ish at pcworld( no one start) instead of £25 ish from dell and cheaper elsewhere just can't remember where sorry! The 'dell' printer is a rebranded lezmark z517.

btw, lexmark do a standard cartridge and one that supposedly lasts longer for more money, we just used the standard as office supplies company got them for £7, but more expensive might be worth a look. def a better idea to get an epson if you need it a lot or printouts to look good!
