Spoken like a true Epson employee.

We know you work for Epson, you can't fool us! ;-)

No! I definitely do not work for Epson. I have an Epson Inkjet printer. I am a retired Eng Tech from a large farm machinery Manufacturer. I have tried to use the "cheap ink" and had very very bad experiences with them. The "cheap ink" stores in my area (Quad Cities IL) will not even refill my cartridges. If you have used the "cheap ink" and had extremely good luck with them, my advice: Use them. I'm trying to alert the folks with the R800- R1800 Epsons, you will probably be disappointed. If you buy "cheap ink" and you ruin pictures and you have to throw the cartridges away (they are not returnable) then it isn't "cheap ink" any longer. So sorry to disappoint you "saurischian"

Hey, relax, I was kidding. Hence the wink >>> ;-)

Our office has five (5) Canon printers, including an i9900 photo printer and we use refills on all of them and keep a running log

on the number of refills used for each printer to do a cost analysis. End result after two years: we could replace three of the printers

with the money saved!

Cheap Ink = :)

I think, I mentioned it earlier, maybe in a different link. There is no such thing as "cheap ink".
Ink is not an expensive liquid. Even if manufacturers made everybody think, it is. You can buy the most expensive, highest quality ink available on the market, made in Germany, for about $45.oo a Gallon retail. If you buy the same ink in an OEM HP cartridge, it will cost you between $5000.00 and $8000.00 a Gallon!!! No other product has a higher profit margin, than OEM cartridges. If you see a new tire for a $100.00 and right next to it a remanufactured tire for a $100.00, would you think, the reman. tire is cheap? If you now go to the next tire shop, and you see the same reman. tire for a $100.00 but the same new one is prized at $500.00, does that make the reman. tire cheap? Or does that make the new tire a total rip off?

How come, you say your cartridges are not returnable? Who did you buy from? Our local Cartridge World store has a 100% Guarantee. So far, we only had one cartridge that failed. One phone call, and they came out, 20 minutes later, with a replacement. No charge. Try that with a new one.....

Another good retailer is InkPlusToner.com

I think www.Tonerworld.com sells the best compatible toner and ink cartridges. They sell the Hyperion Brand compatible toner/ink. I have never had a problem with their toner and I've been a customer for year. Great quality. Check them out.
