Is each cartridge treated as a separate order?

yeah that's what i was going to ask.
Per order means per order. If they charged for each cartridge, it would say per cartridge, now wouldn't it?

Although, after seeing their reseller ratings, it seems they have the same confusion about per order as you guys:

I wouldn't order from them.

I've only used them once, and that's all I plan on doing.

I received the ink ok, but the generic stuff just doesn't cut it. Brand cartridge lasted about 6 months with regular use for me. The generic one they sent me died within a month's time with the same usage pattern. YMMV, but that's my experience.

I believe shipping was free for my only order. However shortly after installing the generics on my C84, the head became clogged on 2/4 of the colors. Printer is wasted. I guess generic isn't the way to go.

there is absolutely no doubt that genuine ink is both better in terms of color accuracy and lasts MUCH longer (occasionally you may find a longer lasting generic cart that ALMOST lasts as long as genuine thing). but the cost savings is so substantial, its still worth it imho. if i could find a genuine color cart selling for say12 bucks, id' buy it. but right now, im' happy with spending less than 4 bucks on a color cart, and like 2 bucks for b&W (epson inkjet)

I use inks from Megatoners all the time and haven't had any problems. You have to be nuts to buy OEM ink cartridges.

Unless you like your prints to actually look good.

I've used 3 generic ink sites many times, Megatoners, 123InkJets, and Ink4Art. All 3 have fantastic prices but NONE of them came close to the quality you get with OEM.

Problems with Generics is that they tend to be runnier/thinner ink, blacks tend to look greenish, and other colors arent as vibrant. When the runny ink gets all over the inside of your printer and starts smearing all your pages, you'll be singing a different tune.

It may be a rip off, but heck, i like my images to look GOOD.

For general useage, third party inks are fine. If you are printing a lot photo images and have a very discerning eye, I'll agree that you may want to go with OEM inks.

I recieved my order from them last week. No problems. Decent INK also.

Also 4.75 is for your entire order.

Megatoners rocks. I use generics for printing photos. About 90% of the time they come out looking great. The other 10% the image will be blurred or marred in some way. But when you figure I pay 1/10th the price I would pay for an OEM cart, then it's worth the few bad prints.
