Thread: old printers

Printer ink has become one of the most expensive commodities on the planet. The manufacturers like it that way, and they'll do whatever they can get away with to try and get you to buy their 'special ink'. When I rang HP for a service call, the operator was able to tell that I was using aftermarket ink. Note that HP reports it's company's health, buy quoting ink sales figures. Yes you should feel ripped off, but there are ways around it. Some have already been mentioned. Search aftermarket printer ink options.

I buy Calidad ink cartridge combos for my Brother inkjet from Officeworks for about $40 for the 3 colours and large black all up.

Calidad seem to have something for all brands and model.

Genuine price is eye watering.

Check out continuous ink systems like these Rihac Continuous Ink Supply Systems, CISS refill Ink & Cartridges

I've had one for more than 2 years, and the kids still haven't managed to use all the ink. Refilling is easy, you don't even need to remove the cartridges.

I see Epson even have one out of the box now Epson EcoTank - Printing Freedom For The Whole Family
