Runningman Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I currently have an Epson Stylus DX 7450 which has been a good buy over a number of years. Unfortunately it's died on me and I don't think I can recover it. I have been using unofficial ink cartridges, please don't tell me I shouldn't have, I know that. I purchase them from a company called King of Flash in Greater Manchester They are considerably cheaper than Epson cartridges and I do have a stock of them left. Any advice on what printer to buy that will take an unofficial cartridge. Official cartridges as you will be well aware are expensive and I do carry out a lot of printing I look forward to a helpful response ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey19 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I got my Canon printer from Currys. It takes 6 ink cartridges and is excellent for printing photographs up to A4 size. Ask about their insurance where if anything goes wrong in a specified time they replace the printer. I stopped buying Canon inks years ago because of the price and now use ink from Stinky Ink by post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 The key thing here is to check on ebay/amazon on the price of compatible inks before you buy your chosen printer. If there are loads listed at good prices (as above) for that model then you're away. I have used an old Epson D88 for years and never had a problem with the cheaper inks, although if you demand the best colour renditions then the maker's inks might be better. Tip- keep your printer wrapped in a thickish plastic cover if not in use more than a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Yes, I've got a little Samsung B/W laser printer and it's great for general use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
