I have two printers an Epson 740 and 900. The ink for these are 30 dollars for color and black each. Everytime i buy ink it ends up costing me around 240 bucks. I saw this site today http://www.printpal.com/ and they sell ink for around 10 per cartrige. This would save me alot of money. My question is, will i lose any quality from going to this? Any other suggestions about ink, so that i could get it cheaper?\

Thanks

The quality of generic ink is pretty good now, but of course not same as genuine ink from the printer manufacturer.

a little bit, you can see the difference.
I only use inkjet printer for casual printing - driving directions, rebate forms, etc., so generic ink is ok.
for photo, I use online print photo service, that's cheaper and better quality - dye-sublimation printing on photo paper.

I was using generic ink on my old Epson 600 for 2 years here in the UK the quality was excellent, too bad I can`t get generic inks yet for my new Epson C70 printer :(.

I got my Epson C60 ink carts from Megatoners. $12.95 for black and $13.50 for color...basically 1/2 cost of OEM carts.

For the past year and a half, I have been buying printer-specific ink for my cheap old cannon bjc 5100 at Atlas Copy.
I refil a $50 black pigment cartridge for about $2.50 of their ink, and I refil a $10 black ink cartridge for literally pennies, and a $25 3-color cartridge for pennies (this cannon has 3 cartridges in it).
Great printer-specific ink. Never had a problem with either the ink or Atlas Copy.

<< i recommend megatoners too....low prices, and fast shipping. >>


Hey, you might be the one that recommended them to me;) I haven't even used them yet (my current cartridge that came with the printer is about 45% full), but the three B&W carts that I ordered came packaged nicely and vacuum sealed in some metallic stuff like the OEM carts (got here in about 3 days). I guess I'll see how good they are when my current cart gets down to "E" :p
