in Shop but don't drop
Is there really any reason to pay £13 for a true HP black one or will it do no harm to look for non- branded ones?

:confused:

    I just print stuff like letters and essay, so high quality is not vital.

    The non branded ones will be "refurbished" HP manufactured ones, usually given free to stores like Staples and PC World free by green minded individuals. Cleaned and refilled, with a little cashback for the stores who provide.

    So why not cut out the middle-man and re-fill your own old ones. Each cartridge should be good for 10 re-fills.
