It would be cheaper to just buy a non-Epson printer. Epson have the print head in the printer rather than in the ink cartridge like most other manufacturers, hence they have a tendency to get clogged up.

You can get them here -

I would wait until after Astrofest though  ;)

After Astrofest and when you have attacked the printer/cartridge with the re-chipper it will probably be broken leaving the way clear to get an HP with individual ink cartridges  :twisted:

are you talking for colour prints or just for letter printing.

I bought a laser as its cheaper,

One cartridge is £80 but i do get about 9000 pages out of it

and in the last 10 years i've bought 2.
Although i did buy a new laser printer last year.

As for ink refills, I would stick to branded.
I went down the route of non epson inks, waste of time.
ended up binning all of them and getting Genuine Epson.

Cant really say i've had too many problems with the heads getting clogged up,
although saying that, i do tend to print from the colour at lease once every two weeks, so that might help

Yes I always get Epson inks. I have ordered an ink cartridge online, half price compared to PC World, but have they got the same amount of ink in?

Should have.

have a look on amazon for multibuy deals,
some times you can get a whole set for the price of a few.
