Cheapest Epson printer ink?

jenniewb

I have an Epson printer and need new ink, but I am struggling to find places which are both reputable and affordable.

Tescos asked for £35 for all 4 inks, Amazon ask £8 per ink (4 different cartridges) there are cheaper but I am not sure if they are reputable companies and know that some companies will sell cheap fakes which do not work because the printer recognises they are fake...

The types I need, 4 colours are:
T0711,
T0712,
T0713 and
T0714

I have used http://www.choicestationery.co.uk for my Epson ink.

Epson T0711/712/713/714 Replacement Cartridge Pack
Reference: 23689 for £10.95 includes delivery.

Each ink cartridge contains 8ml of ink, giving up to 60% more printing power than the equivalent original cartridge.

And you can get 20% off using the code THINK20 until midnight on Monday 14th May.

I buy compatible inks through ebay from a company called 'theinkers'. Its a UK company and I've ordered several times from them using my credit card with no problems. They do multi packs (3 black + 1 each cyan, magenta and yellow for about £12 with free postage) or you can just order one or two individuals (about £1.80 each with free postage).
The way I see it, try one and see how you find it. If you are happy with the results you can buy more, if not you've only wasted a couple of quid.
I couldn't say the quality is fantastic but it's good enough - what do you print? if you're doing official letters or something smart like wedding invites it might not be quite up to scratch. I print college work, maps, spreadsheets, emails etc so it's fine. The 'proper' inks are 4 times the price (or more) but not necessarily 4 times better...

I buy mine from ebay, perfectly adequate for everyday use.

But I've had an odd one or two that would not work, maybe it's dried or something.

These are compatibles but they will replace them if your printer does not accept them

£2:98 for one set with 19ml of ink per cartridge

If you get on with them you can get 6 sets for £12

Have used their inks in Epson photo printers with acceptable output

Thankyou fantastic people! I was worried I'd never be able to print again! Will be ordering tomorrow, thanks again

I use Ebay ones quite successfully too, although started to have a few more duff ones than usual lately. I switched to 7dayshop (its based on the channel isles but has been around since the dinosaurs! so is fine to use.)

Quality has been superb and unlike Ebay ones that show as 'unknown' on the printer software the chip on these convince the printer they are actual Epson ones.

711 - 5 for £4.49 inc shipping

712 -5 for £4.69 inc shipping

713 - 5 for £4.49 inc shipping

714 -5 for £4.69 inc shipping

They also do packs of tens which are even cheaper (£7.59 shipped), I usually get the 10 pack of blacks and 5 packs of colours.

I don't buy ink cartridges I have a CISS system basically there's a huge 600ml reservoir of ink that feeds ink into mock cartridges inside the printer. For £10 I can run the printer for 6+ months. I do a fair amount of printer.

Sounds very technical! Not sure I'd be able to do that but sounds like a good idea, I've not had a printer for 5 years and was so pleased with this one as its from freecycle, it scans, copies and prints I just needed the cartridges. I think I'd be too scared of breaking it it by adding a reservoir!

I buy compatibles from Inkraider.co.uk and I have yet to have any problems with quality or delivery.
Price last time was £1.10 for each of the colour cartridges and I got one of the combination packs that included an extra black for £5.05.
Total packing for 11 cartridges was £1.24.
