epson printer using third party ink

[Andy T]

I have a couple of epson stylus colour 900's and my lad uses them to
knock up his projects for school so as you can imagine he gets through
ink like shelling peas.

I have tried few manufacturers inks and to be honest all of them are
about 50% successful. Brand new cartridges just scrap!

Can any body reccomend a sensible priced ink supplier that is not the
extortion like HP and epson??

yeah, I've had good luck with www.abacus24-7.com for Epson inks ... but I
would not buy anything but Epson ink for photographic work ... for text and
"non-serious" graphics this ink is fine and a LOT cheaper than the Epson ...

Remember the caveat with epson & most other inkjets:
o Cheap consumables work ok
---- you may need ammonia based windex to clean them if you clog
---- otherwise the high quality compatible inks seem to be rated ok
o High volume printing & cleaning fills the waste ink tank
---- the waste ink tank is not easily emptied, and obsoletes the printer

So inkjets have a somewhat finite life engineered in.

If he prints a lot of black & white, you may want to pick up a cheap used
laser printer - or one which is easily refillable & cheap. Samsung ML-1210
& similar whilst not pretty build quality have a quite ok engine, and the
Samsungs at least have easily refilled toner cartridges (undo bung).

Hi,

I've been dealing with http://store.compuside.com/ for almost 2 years now
for our 60+ Epson printers at our school. We use 740, 880, C80,C82, and C84
machines. The price is decent, but what's more important is the cartridges
work.

Ah I forgot to say I am in the Uk.

Buying from the states would be less cost effective.

Anyone know if abacus has an outlet in the Uk or another supplier as
good as abacus.

Personally I always recommend The Ink Factory - www.inkfactory.com

Their JetTec compatibles are BOGOF and delivery is free.

I've never had a duff one from them either.
