Cheapest seller of GENUINE epson ink?

[Brian]

I just ordered an Epson C82 printer from Epson for $74 shipped w/ free USB
cable. I am now looking for ink sources. Where is the best bet to get
GENUINE Epson ink cartridges for my printer? Is ebay going to be my best
bet? Ebay seems to be running mid $50's for set of 4 cartridges.

Try www.atlex.com for genuine Epson inks.

I may be wrong but I think Atlex is an American firm, would that not made
postage very expensive.

I'm in America!

Thanks for the link, they are marginally cheaper than stores, I think I'll
keep looking.

If you are looking for genuine ink I don't think you are going to get much
cheaper. If you are looking for aftermarket inks then there would be better
pricing.

I see non-oem inks on ebay for pretty cheap, as on websites. However, I hear
mixed opinions on non-oem inks ranging from just as good as oem to really
crummy. I do have a digital camera so i might print a few photos from it,
and i wouldn't want cheap non-oem ink to ruin the picture in short time, you
know? Has anyone bought non-oem ink from ebay that turned out to be real
good quality? If so, who was the seller?

My opinion is you get what you pay for. That said you could save some money
with non Epson inks. The inks I use come from http://www.mediastreet.com . I
use their pigment inks which work great in my 1520, 785epx, and pro9500. No
the color isn't the same, but once you get it tweaked properly, they look
great. You can also get their dye based ink replacements which they say has
the same colorspace as the Epson inks. I have never used their dye inks, so I
don't know much more than what the website says about them.
