New Printer - Cheap Ink?

Hi all!

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm looking to buy a new all-in-one printer.

My trusty old Cannon printer is taking it's final bow :(

I was able to use 'replacement' ink cartridges (much cheaper than the own brand) for this printer and would like to continue to do the same.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a new all-in-one printer that will accept replacement cartridges?


Many thanks for all your help,


Coeus.

    Depends what you want to use it for.

    I would look at Epson for low purchase price and low running costs. If you are truly frugal you can instal a "Continuous Ink Supply Systems".

    Google it for suppliers.

    I use ink from Aktiv Direct and replacement cartridges from Ebay.

    I fitted this to my Canon ip2600 almost a year ago - brilliant !!

  • When I bought my Epson printer it would take compatible cartridges, then a few months later it stopped and refused to work with anything other than the Epson ones. It's costing me a fortune. What should I buy and how can I guarantee this doesn't happen again?:(

    Floatie Light - best if you open a new thread giving your model number. Someone may have already found a source of comaptible cartridges.
