Re-filled Epson ink cartridges.

Post by dennis » Sat Nov 05, 2016 10:59 am Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Not sure if this is the correct soap box, but does anyone have any experience of using Epson re-filled ink cartridges, specifically for the R800 printer, as supplied by Premier Ink? They are £3.99 (13ml) as opposed to £14.99! Too cheap to be worth it? But my printer is now getting elderly & I wonder if it is worth while paying for the genuine original. Thanks. Dennis.

Apart from the question of colour stability, as long as you profile the printer for the paper and ink you are using, your results should be as predictable as with original inks

Joanna,
Thanks. I'll try a cartridge next time I need some. Best wishes, Dennis.

You could also try looking at Fotospeed or Permajet who do refillable cartridges with a quality ink
