Where is the best place to buy printer ink?

Stay away from 123inkjets!!! It took over a month to get their ink and their customer service was terrible.

Check out reseller ratings... don't make the same mistakes I did.
 
In Office Max's weekly ad insert in last Sunday's newspaper, I noticed they now have a kiosk they're calling the "Ink Refilling Station." I haven't tried it so I can't comment on it one way or the other, but I might give it a shot next time I need ink. If nothing else, it'll save the shipping costs & wait time of ordering online. It really grinds my gears to pay ~$30 to $35 (plus tax) for an HP ink cartridge every few months. :frown:

EDIT: Oops -- I originally typed "Staples" by mistake. It's Office Max that has this, not Staples. 😱
 
Hey 13gigatons, I went to the pixma mod for usa users and can't seem to get it to work. I have the 1.20 rom so I had to put in another country. I put in New Zealand. Anyway I got all that done but when I get to the #6 calibration the alarm light blinks and it won't go from there. Any ideas what to do to get it to work? Thanks.

Are you talking about step 2b ?

If so it could be out of paper or the tray door is not up all the way or it's being overloaded. Could also try pushing the buttons faster, some users reported that it had to be entered fast enough or it would error.

The MP780 could be a pain in the butt to get it to work.
 
Eh, my last/first order of Swift ink wasn't good at all. I would have to use the clean cycle everytime I turn on the printer to print something if I didn't print for 1-2 days. If I didn't it would have some streaking problems.
I still think that Swift ink is higher quality ink than Megatoners, but Megatoners has a much cheaper price and I can buy twice as many cartridges.
An Epson CX5400 uses 4 cartridges so the cost can really add up if I go with Swift ink.

Why would the 780 be a pain?

firstly I think megatoners is a little bit more reputable, but I could be wrong

I mean... it's expensive, but you don't have to make it seem like someone needs to praise you because you have a gaming PC.
