Is it worth buying compaitable ink from online shops or would you spend a few extra £'s for the same thing?
Reason i ask is had a leaflet through the letter box from FutureInk.co.uk saying i can get ink from £2.99 each with free p&p

You can get good quality ink cartridges for a lot less than that.

I was paying around £5.99 a cartridge from cartridge world and i think £2.99 from futureink is pretty good and they are 10 min walk from me in London.

The last time I bought ink cartridges I paid ~£13 for two complete sets (2*5 cartridges) from a seller on Ebay incl. P&P.

If you need them quickly, buy them locally...

We really need to know make and model of your printer to tell if its cheap or expensive.

My HP carts cost £12.99 for 12 on Ebay

wow 57p for a cartridge is good although not sure about £2.95 for p&p

my cartridge is £2.57 for 1 plus p&p comes to £5.52 from ink.co.uk 10ml cartridges

if i buy from futureink.co.uk the cost is £3.79 with free p&p 13ml - 19ml cartridges according to an email i recieved of them this morning
£1.73 saving.

might give futureink a try this time and then next time ink.co.uk
