Why not just buy the Brother equivalent from Argos, same price, plenty of cheap cartridges available.

Nice piece of kit as well.;)

What about these HP printers are they any good ? A little cheaper than the Epson to buy but ink cartridges seem a little more expensive though

I bought a Epson DX5000 a month odd back and I am having the same problem as some have mentioned on this thread of incompatibility with supposedly-compatible non-Epson brand cartridges. Seems I made a major mistake buying this printer and getting locked in to the branded variety (which due to the monopoly are more expensive). If anyone knows a trick or some cartridges that do work, I'd appreciate it. My advice would be steer clear of Epson for the moment.

Planelane have to tried the Cartridges in Message 9 above they are suppose to work ok with this printer ?
I just bought the printer yesterday for a friend so I am trusting that they will work with this printer.

If you're an NHS employee, you can register with nhsdiscounts.co.uk & get 5% discount from PCWorld provided you order the printer online & have it delivered. I've just ordered mine, & got £2 off.

Pc world are currently selling the epson dx4050 all in one printer scanner copier for £39.99

The cartridges are 4 individual tanks and so are cheaper to replace. The four pack of ink is £24.99

My hp c3180 cost me that but the running costs are far greater as the ink is not cheap.

Dont know if compatible ink is available but you can always refil.

You will need a usb cable to make this work they are available from pound shops tesco and wilkos quite cheap.

Here is the product code(555366)

Hi
Yes. I bought this on Wednesday 6th June from PC World and it's absolutely fine..... so far. I also bought a pack of refills which was offered with a 10% discount when bought with the printer. I recommend it.

Inactive, I've not used those cartridges from UKDVDR but the warning puts me off. After three failed compatibles (though admittedly two were from the same brand), I'm loathe to try another, especially one which comes with a warning attached like those do. I'm going to have to stick with Epson's own brand until a cartridge manufacturer declares their generics to be compatible with the new Epson. Cheerio, Phil.

I recently bought an Epson R265 printer and tried to use compatible cartridges. The printer would not accept them, saying cartridge not recognised. It seems that, with the R265 at least, that any printer manufactured after March 1st has been programmed to only accept Epson genuine cartridges. I was not happy!! Not surprising though as that is probably where most of the profit is made. Even worse though is that the cartridges are NOT refillable!
If buying one of the printers mentioned in this thread check when buying that it will accept compatibles or if it has been programmed like the R265. It cost me £5 for a compatible to find this out then I had to buy a genuine one as well. To be fair the Epson ones are only £6.99, but there are 6 of them in my printer!
Remember I am referring to the R265, NOT the printer which is the subject of this thread. I just thought the info might be useful.
Ian.

ive just bought mine (dx4050) any idea where to find the manufacturers date on it before i go for generic refills?
