Buying ink refill kits a real pain... suggestions?

[Czesia]

Does anyone know where I can purchase refill printer ink in large quantities (ie. at a comparably lower price)? We refill our ink cartridges all the time, but always need to but the refill kits, and it seems hardly necessary since we already have the refilling supplies, just need ink. Any tips?

Also, what about photograde ink? Does anyone recommend it for photo printing? Any info would certainly be appreciated!

no clue for the photo grade ink, but the ink on ebay is dirt cheap, it comes with the syringe which i guess you don't need if you already have all the refill equiptment, however i really don't think you could get the ink any cheaper.

I would NOT recommend refilling your photo carts, if you plan on doing serious photo printing. Your colors will look washed out, and not true. Stick with the real deal.

what about laser printer toner cartridges for a Brother printer? Is there a refill kit available for that? Worth it or not?

I might still have the magazine, about a year ago a British photography mag had a good review on a 250cc tank
system that had hoses to feed the printer. Once up and running you just fill the tanks. The set-up works on all
photo grade printers.

I Googled and could not find it. I'll post later today if I find the article. IIRC it is available in the States.


EDIT: Google, bulk ink systems for what I was referring to or just bulk ink to buy it by the drum

At home we have been using tanks from megatoner.com w/vg results in an Epson COLOR 777.
We use a middle grade paper, 94 brightness & 24 weight.
