    eBay is good for cartridges. I've used a few different sellers in the past and never had any problems. The last time I bought cartridges for my R200 (which I've had since they first came out, a couple of years or more, and never had a problem with) I paid around £38 for 48 cartridges (8 sets of 6), including postage, so 80p per cartridge.

    Just thought I'd add:

    I produce DVD's, such as home video transfers/edits. Besides the actual DVD authoring, I design and produce the DVD covers and DVD print artwork. Using the R200 the end effect is stunning and always receives compliments. The printed discs especially look professional as other R200 owners will surely testify to. I use Ritek G05 full face printable discs, but other discs work just as well. A little tip, to finish off the printed discs, use an inkjet fixative spray on the it. The spray protects the artwork and gives a very professional look to the whole project. But do use the spray sparingly, a light mist once or twice will do.

    https://www.eco-office-supplies.co.uk full set for £6 I use them and they r good quality. I choose the standard 3-7 day shipping it works out cheaper and they still always arrive quickly! :D

    If you go to Tesco online and to the grocery section then search for Epson you'll find 2 listings for 3 pack Epson cartridges for £1 each. Choose both for for the full set of cartridges needed for the R200.



    Thanks PeteHerts, these look like a bargain.I have a query though. Has anyone actually ordered these thru Tesco.com? I have never ordered from them before and it puts me off a little when it states at the checkout that the price is a 'guide price' and I may be charged different when my order is delivered. Do you think this £1.00 each is likely to be what I will end up paying as it seems very cheap? Please can anyone give me advice?

    My Tesco's never had them when they delivered (surprise surprise) so i dont know whether they've sold out across the country as they are so cheap or its another pricing mistake by them. It would be interesting to know if anyone managed to get them at this price.
    Ealier in the post i did put that you can get a full set for £4.69 plus delivery.

    Thanks again PeteHerts. I'll give the Tesco order a go and see what happens.

    With the help of your original post I managed to get a R200 from Boots at Croydon Whitgift this afternoon.

    They still had one more available when I left the shop, if anyone is still looking.

    I have been after a photo printer for a while now and this is a great price.:j :j :j :j :j :j

    I've got one of these and it's a pretty good printer.

    I get my ink from Choice Stationary and it's really reasonable.
