Is It OK To Buy Compatible Ink Cartridges From Them?

Associate

Hi,

Ive got an Epson Stylus Color 600 Inkjet printer. I have bought "compatible" ink cartridges for many years from a company called Jetica. I believe they have gone out of business now. The compatible cartridges I bought from them worked fine on my printer.

I used to buy several at once, both black and colour cartridges and the price for buying 3+ for each was:

Black - £2.95

Colour- £3.59

I'm thinking about buying the ink cartridges from cartridgepeople.com. I know they are a reputable and well established company, but their price seems very cheap including free delivery:

Black (4+) - 99p

Colour (4+) - £1.49

I'm wondering if the quality of these compatible cartridges is going to be good, especially compared to what I've been used to?

Can I purchase them with peace of mind?

Thank you.

Regards,

Jay

They offer a 'no risk moneyback guarantee', so what have you got to lose?

You could also look at Ebay (this is where I usually by my cartridges from).

If you are doing photo printing then always buy the genuine cartridges. For everyday stuff use compatible. I use SVP,http://svp.co.uk they sell ritek and again do good bulk purchases and their delivery and customer service is excellent.

I've just put a Jet Tec cartridge in my new Epson SX405 and it has come up with error message "Cannot recognise ink cartridges"! Help - does anyone out there know how to overide this - please!!!

you have a faulty cartridge also be careful not all compatiable cartridges can work alongside genuine epson cartridges. Answering the question regarding are cheap compatiable cartridges ok to use i would say yes but i would recommend you do a head clean before you start to print with them hope this helps
