I have bought compatibles in the past but the ink quality is not so great or the chips dont recognise. Any help would be appreciated :) Hi,

Among the three, original equipment manufacturer(oem), ink refill or compatible cartridges, the last one is the ideal option. Taking into consideration the cost---hands down refill and compatible cartridges trump over the OEM. But most users claim (due to ink refill), that they experience consequences. i think this would be due to the refill (rule of thumb: only refill a cartridge ONCE. More than this and you risk diminishing the quality of the printout and damaging the cartridge and/or the printer itself) I get my <a href="”http://www.uniteddigitalsolutions.com/?page=prcat&cid=77”" rel="nofollow">HP ink cartridges</a> online. Aside from HP, you can find a variety of compatibles like epson cartridges, cartridge discount laser minolta toner, tektronix 7300 printer ink and pitney bowes fax toners. Luckily, I have yet to go through any of the consequences that other consumers have experienced with regard refilling and compatibles. With these items raised, my money would be with the compatible cartridges. Instead of buying originals or refilling cartridges I’d suggest go in for lower cost compatible cartridges.

But if you (or anyone else reading this) needs to use an ink-jet, I recommend you find one of those places that re-fill cartridges. They're all over the place. When there's a demand, the market provides. I've found five of them in Cheyenne, Wyoming for chrissakes. Refill a $30 cartridge for $6. Black and white or color. Not a perfect solution, especially for HP cartridges because the print heads on the cartridges wear out after a while, but I can still extend the useful life of one cartridge 3 or 4 times this way. And it is oh, so gratifying to stick it to HP this way. Heidi, for your needs I agree that a low-end laser printer would be best.

As for the printing thing, yes it is a scam. But only in that it is like the gas for cars we use, too few have your courage to bring up the topic for fear of angering the printer gods. new tech is definitely needed on this front. there, there, miss beat. we all sympathize with you, i think. and I, at least appreciate your recent frenetic-pace of updated postings on the hottest topics to comic geeks everywhere! ;)

You can find several multifunction units for around $100 or less, and the toner is usually $25-50 and will last for literally thousands of pages. Using an inkjet for anything but color proofs or photos is a waste of money (and for cheap inkjets, it's cheaper to print photos elsewhere, too!). Any inkjet that costs less than $300 is pretty much guaranteed to be a total ripoff on ink cartridges -- pay more upfront and you'll save several times as much in the long run.

As for printers, I recommend a used Cannon (I have an i850). IMHO, they have the longest-lasting ink of pretty much anything else out there, and if you get one with seperate CMYK cartridges, then the black is only something like $12. *hugs* Heidi, we love you.

Toner is far cheaper and lasts way longer than an inkjet cartridge. Laser Printers also print much faster than inkjet printers, and a toner cartridge is good for 5,000+ pages before you need to change the cartridge. No need for special paper either.
