Epson printer £25 was £70 in Argos

Hazel1980

I needed a new printer today and saw this one with a nice big price reduction so thought I'd share. Thought I might as well get one with a scanner and copier as it's the same price as the basic models.

I bought this printer today. I'm not sure about how they came to the original price as everywhere else are also selling it at £24.99.

That RRP is a load of old rowlarks i'm afraid.

Not a bad price especially if you're using the cheap 3rd party carts but it's nowhere near the bargain the lying bar stewards would have you think it is

great price, does anyone know if it comes with any ink included? Product description is not clear.

Husband just set it up and said there was an ink cartridge with it.

It should have ink, though starter (possibly half usual capacity), and the first inks will need to fill up the tubes etc, so probably best to start looking for replacements.

One option for compatibles is here, and they have 19ml of ink per cartridge, some compatibles only have 13ml of ink per cartridge, so take this in to account when comparing prices

Check for prices, but competitive photo paper here, if you use that

I am tempted by this

I have an epson all in one wireless printer which I got at a great price on amazon <£50, but I have clogged the black up. Ive got printer cleaning fluid here but it wont budge it. The price of repair is probably more than the printer is worth, and I have been told it has been through using non epson inks? I wonder if this has happened to anyone else, and if so how did they solve it?

If I could work out how to remove the print head, then I would imagine Id be able to soak it for as required and let it dry and start again etc

I was paying about £1 per cartridge and had my fair money worth of printable vouchers but this has happened on only the black?

I too, had the same problem with my old epson printer. I took it to a computer shop and they told me it was irrepairable and had been caused by me using compatible ink cartridges. I'm going to use them again in this printer as the compatible ink is roughly £7 on ebay, whilst the genuine Epson ink is about 5 times as much. As the printer is only £25 it's worth less than the cost of one genuine ink set.
