Question Which printer has cheapest ink

[marilynn]

Which printer has the best all round price for ink and printing? Can you refill any cartridges? I heard Epsom had refillable cartridges?

If a new printer comes with full cartage or toner it's cheaper to buy a new printer.

Yeah you are right . Buying a cartridge and toner is really expensive but i was searching some websites then i came across http://www.greenhavensupply.com/. They are offering quite affordable cartridges. You can consider it. The reviews were quite good.

Get refill cartridges. Aside from saving you tons of money, it is also good for the environment. We always get our cartridges from www.cartridgesdirect.com.au and they are quite affordable, maybe you want to check them out.

How much it cost you ?

Hi Michelle! The printer that we are current using is Brother and we usually get refill rolls by four so I get them for $68.02. What printer do you use?

It used to be,but I have heard that printer companies have become aware of this and to stop this loop hole by just installing starter cartridges that will not print very many copies and then you are right back where you started from having to purchase more ink.

Let's be clear. Refilling inkjet cartridges is easy to do, and hugely economical. It used to be said, long ago, that this was bad for the printer, and the printer companies that make most of their money on overpriced cartridges want you to think that. Ain't so. That's a total scam. Hard to believe that we're still being dimwitted about printer cartridge refilling.

I've been refilling ink cartridges for a decade, and maybe a hundred reams of paper. Takes minutes to refill. I do it every three or four of weeks. Now, I should say that I ONLY refill black text ink. I don't use color.

If you want to do this, you MUST buy a printer that uses unchipped cartridges. The chipped cartridges count how many pages you printed, and refuse to print any more after that. I've been using a Canon MP280 for a few years, and I've bought maybe one black ink cartridge for it. Have refilled that cartridge at least 25 times, and it's still going strong.

I've been using a bulk dye ink they call Durafirm. Really not sure who makes it, but you can get it at a number of online retail outlets. On the order of $20 for 250ml, which is good for 40-50 fills. The necessary equipment is ink and a plastic syringe with a wide-bore needle. Real simple. You do have to bore a small hole in the cartridge once, but that's easy to do. Just put a piece of tape over the hole, and then pull the tape for every refill. There are instructions online for all kinds of cartridges.

I use el-cheapo printer paper (~$4/ream) that I get at my local food store. Works fine.

I think i saw a commercial a year ago that featured a kodak brand printer, the ink for it was only $14 a cartridge. I can't remember the name, nor do i know if it still exists sorry.

DON'T WASTE MONEY....PRINTER GIVES OUT AFTER A YEAR. INK IS NOT CHEAP ANYMORE. STARTED OUT CHEAP AND RAISED THE PRICES LITTLE BY LITTLE AND NO LONGER LIVES UP TO THEIR CLAIM OF 'CHEAP INK'.
