    Cheap inks are exactly that.Not the same definition as manufactured colours.Colours won't be true-faded or just off.Better to look for a website that sells branded inks at lower prices.Try the office supplies companies.

    It's supposed to save you a packet on ink, I've the ET-7750 about 6mts or so, going well and produces good photo prints, you wouldn't need that model if it's for only general home use one of the entry ones should be fine.

    €30 buys you a lifetime of a colour. It'll never be empty. Many thousands of times cheaper than cartridge ink.

    Does €30 buy a lifetime of black ink?

    I don't need colour?

    Been getting cheap refills for years, be grand, they give a bit of trouble now and again, generally easily fixable though, but the cartridges die a death eventually after a few refills, significantly cheaper than new also.

    Where do you buy them?

    Do they work with new printers

    Ah just a local shop does them, I'd imagine there's many around the country, I'm in the south east, if that's anywhere near you?

    Yup, he keeps up to date, very knowledgeable guy, but I'd imagine there's limitations, his refills are perfectly fine for everyday use, there could be issues though, if you require high quality. He charges roughly 10-15 per refill
