Printer Ink

I have an Epson Stylus photo R300 printer and looking for ink, I'd rather stick with Epson although isn't it expensive, but still... the cheapest I have found so far is here, and also no delivery charge...

Anyone know anywhere else that's cheaper and of course reliable?

Lots of lovie dovie smilies :heartsmil

    I always use http://www.choicestationery.com/index.html they may be slightly dearer but their new Think+ cartridges definately last longer and I haven't had to run a clean cycle on my printer since using these, also their aftersales service,I have found is second to none. Hope this helps.

    I always go for the Epson Branded ones! I too have the Epson R300 printer

    You can get them on ebay really cheap! I thought at first that those ones from "Iwantinks" were genuine Epson but they are compatible ones!

    I tend to keep looking on ebay and the last lot I got on ebay was £19.50 for all 6 cartridges - genuine Epson ones (not compatibles) and that included recorded delivery. So I find it almost as cheap to get the proper ones!

    I should of said when you go into ebay in the search box type in Epson R300

    Down the side then click on
    Printer Ink and Cartridges
    then click on
    Colour/Black Cartridge Bundles
    then click on
    Epson Branded

    and hey presto you have lots of cheap branded epson ones!

  • Printrite compatibles from https://www.rambox.co.uk are £17.99 for 3 sets(18 cartridges)
  • I'm looking for printer cartridges for my son's HP printer. He is only 6 so it doesn't need to be top quality. I need one colour and one black and white. I have seen quite a few on ebay which are past their date but still in sealed bags. Are these likely to be any good? If not, would refills or non-genuine cartridges be the best budget solution?

    Thanks.

    I have Epson for years. I am also on the R300 but always use compats. I buy them for a pound a go at https://www.northdevoncomputers.com and never have any problems. I print A4 size photos and you would never know the difference.
