lEXMARK x3580 - Where can i get the cheapest cartarages from??

The cartages I buy for my lexmark X3580 printer is costing me a bomb at the moment. A colour and black cartage cost £42.00 in currys. I have been on the Lexmark website directly, and a colour and black would cost £37.00 (fiver off) does anyone know of anyer websites/stores wwhich would sell even cheaper????

I have considered these refill packs, but do they actually work with these cartages????

thanks all in advance

    Yer. Manufactures & stores always overprice things. A Mate of mine needed a larger camera battery, as he got his camera from currys he asked them, they wanted £150 for one, he ordered it and they said it would be in within a month, then asked me to lookup to see i could get cheaper anywhere else, i went on ebay and they had the same battery , brand new from the company that supply currys in china they had the battery for £19.50 and £10 postage. we ordered that and got it within a week and still got it before the currys ordered one.

    Colour £11.97 Black £7.97

    EDIT If you do a lot of printing it will work out cheaper to buy a new printer, Lexmark are very expensive to run.

    Dam, thats even lower colour and black thats £19.94 for both, gosh thankyou thankyou thankyou.

    This has got to be the lowest price

    I just refiiled my black one yesterday and refilled my colour one about 3 months ago.
    The black refill kit cost me £12 and I reckon it will give me 4 refills. Can't remember what I paid for the colour but approx. the same.
    Can't tell any difference between A4 prints made with original and same pics printed with refills, neither can anyone I show them to.
    Refilling is easy, everything included in kit, even disposable gloves.
    I use Refill Man on Ebay for mine.

    If you want to refill, ink.co.uk has refill kits for £1.77 colour or £1.67 black, including all the bits and pieces you need.

    At that price I would be tempted to try refilling.

    I think your right on that score uktylor, thanks again, maybe i will try the refill, and see how i get on, BTW have you ever used refill systems?
