Apologies if posted already (I searched and couldn't see it anyway)

Went to buy ink in Harvey Norman, total cost of black and colour cartridges was 43euro. bought a new printer instead for 49euro with scanner and wireless connectivity and full inks €49

Well done! Goes to show what a ripoff original inks are. If you have not used the printer yet, install compatible inks in the initial installation. The software might complain, but continue on regardless. After that the printer should accept any cartridge.

Is this to go with any printer? As I have an epson and it sometimes is funny with spurious inks - would it be worthwhile buying a new one and sticking in non epson inks to get it working?

Yes, especially with Epsons. I have bought the SX215 and SX 415 over the past 6 months. Got multipacks of compatible ink from www.amazon.co.uk for £10.99. www.justmedia.ie also have very good value in compatible Epson ink.The Epson software grumbles during initial installation of the ink but carry on regardless and the printer will accept the compatible ink. You will save an absolute fortune in ink.Best of luck.

was the ink included in the price?

How does this compare performance-wise and consumption-wise with the HP Deskjet F4580? My local Tesco are selling those off for €49.99 incl. two HP 300 cartridges... but this takes four individual HP 564 cartridges, which should represent better value/less waste than the tri-colours (?)

Do you have the model no. Of this printer? Just want to check cost of cartridges first , thanks.

iknorr · 24-01-2011 11:47pm

I bought this a few weeks back. the offer is on since xmas. its a savage printer.

Inks can be got online alot cheaper than in store.

No usb cable included ( not needed since it can work over ur network)

it updates over the internet from the small menu screen on it.

check the volume (ml) in each cartridge and compare. divide the price by this and you get the €/ml price.

You can get cartridges online that have double the ml of a high useage cartridge for 20 euro. If i remember correctly its 28 ml compared to something like 15 ml for the high usage HP.

Looks a real bargain. Their all-in-one 6500 looks good value too. Thanks OP.

iknorr · 25-01-2011 2:30pm

u can send an email to the printer and it will print anything out.

cojomo2 · 25-01-2011 2:33pm

Anyone know how to get the proper model no. of this printer so I can check the cost of compatible cartridges on the likes of inkjet.ie?

Really want but have to be sure I can get cheap cartridges first!

Unfortunatley not, I guess he could go buy one in Harvey Norman and then bring that one back to the other shop with the €75 receipt! (joking btw!)

He bought it because it was €60 to buy ink for our lexmark printer and this looked nice for €75, it's on the company expenses as a printer (or ink) was required, so not too big a deal.

Just don't buy this in PC world!

By the way, very nice and very fast printer, haven't used the other functions yet.

Bought this last week from amazon and just seen the compatible inks on inkjet.ie but they are "without chip". Will they work and do I have to trick the machine into using them?

Have been getting ink for our Epson (x700W, me thinks) @ http://www.inkredible.co.uk cheaply enough.

what a pain in the arse having to pull of chips and glue them to the compatible cartridge! First off, that means you actually have to buy all original cartridges to begin with, and probably again when the chip gets knackered from pulling it on and off.

That place(inkmaestro) is well expensive too!
Thanks for the effort tho:)

To be fair it's a completely different site and I did check the faq

Ink maestros prices are quite higher but then they do list the amount of ink in each where as inkjet doesn't. Also maestro seems to include some mysterious liquid to help remove the chip. Decisions decisions...

Well the printer does come with a set at the start so as long as you're careful it shouldn't be too big a deal.

Individual cartridges are indeed better.
With a 3 in 1 cartridge you ll have to replace the entire thing when 1 colour is gone. You ll find that sometimes the other colours are not even haf done before yellow (i think that was the one most used) is gone.

You sure?

edit: I see the OP mentions it came with inks, just doesn't say it on the HN website, it has inks listed as 'optional extras'

whiterebel · 25-01-2011 9:23pm

Outstanding value, thanks OP. brilliant that it works with iPad too!!!!
HN also doing Samsung Laser printers - Colour €119, B&W €129 incl a free toner valued at €78. I bought a B&W and the HP. Fantastic bargains.

ricman · 25-01-2011 9:29pm

Would that hp wireless printer work on the galaxy tab ,as the tab does not allow printing by cable ,ie it just works on certain wireless printers.

dextero · 26-01-2011 12:14am

HP Wireless InkJet Printer/Scanner/Copier €49
