INK Cartridges

I know it's not modeling but a lot of you guys take photos and print pics so where do you get you INK from?? After good quality and good price if pos.

Many thanks Royb.

I've used these guys in the past : http://www.cartridgemonkey.com/

I bought some non cannon cartridges for my Pixma printer, and they are pretty good for most printing. However, if I was buying ink for printing top quality photos out (for display) I would go for genuine canon cartridges in the future. The colours seem to be a little bit more vibrant, with less seepage (blurring of the edges) that tends to happen a little with the aftermarket ink. This blurring tends to be worse on matt papers....

The prices are quite reasonable from them too

Cheers

Hi Roy, I've been using these for a while, http://www.ink.co.uk// cheapest I've found and no quality issues to date and no clogging etc. My printers are Epson and the ink they sell is "INK SWISS" and actually comes from Switzerland when you order delivery can take around a week which is the only downside

Have Epson Photo 810 and Lexmak All In One X5470 and other older units

I prefer new makers cartrdiges, fit and forget. job done. worry about something else.
shopping around it's no more expensive
sometimes good deals at PC World or Staples
(actually no more expensive on balance than refills)

Unless you know of a better way

If you're running an Epson printer, convert it to a continuous inking system. Costs about £80 and it's the nearest thing to Epson ink you can buy. You buy the ink in 125ml bottles. I print a lot of A4 photographs and the last time I bought a refill of ink was 2 years ago!! You can get them for around £30 on ebay, but I don't know what the ink is like. I use www.fotospeed.com. Would never go back to cartridges now

Very Interesting Thanks Mike
I've had a look at ciss systems, didn't know there were such things before.
Seems to be one for my Epson Photo 810 but not the Lexmark (which is not that wonderful at photos compared with the Epson)
Definately the way to go

I use a cannon pimax ip5200 printer and I obtain ink refills from Cartridge World in Prestatyn. Because they are refilled they are also rechipped. The best part is they are a third of the price of new ones. Cartridge World also supplies inks for other printers also.
