After a lot of trial and error I've come to the realisation that if you're looking for quality photo prints at home there's no replacement for the genuine article.
I've a HP printer that uses 78 colour cartridges and when you use them to print photos you'll got through them pretty quick. So to cut back on the cost I'd thought I'd try refills. Apart from being difficult to use, the end result was pretty bad - two colour would be OKish while there wouldn't be a third!
Disappointed I then tried the remanufactured kind. But again they turned out to be not the quality I was looking for and but an improvement on the refill stuff.
So, I'm back at square one having to buy an expensive genuine HP cartridge.

But is there cheap way of buying them? There's got to be right?
Argos is selling 19ml 78's for €45 and this seems the standard price in the shops.

And I've carried out an extensive search of the web this morning (as well as going through the links in the 'stick' post at the top of this forum) and I've found that inkclub.com are offering a HP Ink Cartridge 3-colour No 78 38 ml €63.99 (€5 P&P). Not a bad price for a 38ml? Does anyone know of any places that can better that price?
