Cheapest Ink Cartridges

[Adam8281]

The recent thread on Swift Ink's sale has reminded me to share a site that has the cheapest ink I have ever found. The site (Link) is the "private store" for the ink website Abacus 24-7. They don't advertise the "private store" URL, and they claim that this is why the "private store" can offer cheaper ink than their "public store" URL. Anyway, they say it's fine to spread the private URL through word of mouth, so I thought I'd post it here. Just to give you an idea of its low prices, the black ink cartridge for my Canon which costs $2.95 on Swift Ink is $1.25 on Abacus. I have ordered from Abacus about 4 times with no problems. The shipping isn't too bad, I usually order about 6 ink cartridges at a time since the prices are even lower when you buy in bulk, and shipping comes out to under $5. By the way, these ink cartridges are compatible, not OEM, as ivol07 pointed out.

What a wacky URL. Made me nervous to click it.
Ink is compatible not OEM. Just an FYI. I'm sure everyone figured that out already anyway.

not the cheapest ever at all...Abacus has epson 880 black for $1.35 and megatoners has it for $0.79, $2.84 for color versus $1.49 from megatoners...

as for me, i always use elite imaging supplies. i always get my shipment lightning quick (and free), and their quality is excellent. i have some coupons lying around in my inbox...if you are interested PM me.

The prices aren't any lower through the special "private" link than they are the public link.

I've bought from Abacus three or four times now from their eBay auctions. They sell ink under at least two Abacus names:
Abacus24-7
Abacusink
One has a 99.7 and the other a 99.6 rating. I didn't link to an eBay auction, only the seller ratings, so don't anyone get their panties in a bunch. I have also received the Abacus private sale address after each purchase, but I think their eBay auction prices are a little better. For instance ink for my Epson C66 is 1.60 and the CMY are 3.38 on their auction. At the private sale link the black is 5.10 and the CMY are 4.45 each. The eBay shipping prices are 4.95 flat rate up to 100 cartridges covering multiple auctions.
But either way these guys are pretty good about getting your order out quickly. They did delay one order by accident by a couple three days but sent an apology letter and got it out quickly. They do have over 135,000 positive feedbacks (over 90,0000 unique) at the two Abacus stores I listed.

I had bought from these monkeys (Megatoners) for years but they screwed with me one time and would not replace some defective carts. I had to go to my CC to get my money back. Never again. I am actually glad I swithed because Megatoners uses the cheapest ink, (not just me, others have complained), my Epson 980 was clogging constantly with that Megatoner ink. Now that I swithed to Abacus, these clogs are very infrequent

Anyone have a good source of carts for Dell All-In-One series units? Namely the 942 and 962?

Definitely not the best pricing around for ink since there is megatoners.com
Quality is probably better though.
Elite imaging prices are wayyy to expensive for me and I would prefer something a little cheaper like swiftink or maybe even abacus.

Love megatoners -- which is the cheapest. Printing is almost free with Canon printers ($0.001 per page).
