Hi folks, :D
im at my witts end with my printer (only had it 6 months)..... iv lost count the amount of cartridges i have bought for it (at £12-15 a time) & with the amount of resorces & paperwork im printing out it just isnt economical to keep it.
I can fill the cartridges up myself just the once...after that they dont work properly....& its as blooming messy job (im sporting black dye all over my hand now :rolleyes: )
can anyone recomend a decent all in 1 printer with low cost cartridges or cartridges that can be re-used more often
:thumbsup:

I will be looking at this thread with interest. My printer works fine but at £45 for a black and colour cartridge, it is just way too expensive - and I can only get cartridges from PC world or Currys :rolleyes: can't find anywhere online to do originals and even for re-filled have only found one website and black was out of stock :(
so don't get a Lexmark X4580 :rolleyes:

previous printer was a lexmark & i had to use a all-in-one cartridge which cost a small fortune, silly purchase really as colour was hardly used & was often chucked as the black was gone! :rolleyes:

we have an HP, which is super, but the ink is :eek: :eek: :eek:
it wasn't working very well, so DH researched and decided to get a kodak one, cheap ink, and apparently really good ....
the HP printer must have sensed it was going, as now its behaving as good as gold !!! ;) ( still need :eek: ink though! )

the kodak all in one. It's fab - you can get a wireless one for about £85 if you shop around (amazon/play). To replace b&w AND colour costs £19.99 but they charge a fiver for delivery so it's worth bulk ordering.
I just ordered 3 black and white and a colour for £47 which is less than it used to cost to get one of each for my old Dell printer.

I have an epson too which I love but it doesn't like compatibles refuses to accept the cartridges so I have to buy originals but they last a while.

My HP costs me a fortune!!! I am looking at a Kodak when mine goes wrong as the cartridges seem to be the cheapest!! Trouble is the HP is still going strong at the moment :angry:

I bought the Kodak wireless printer last week on Amazon for £75. Cost £6 for genuine kodak cartridge :thumbsup:
The only prob is mine had a fault so had to be returned. But amazon sent me out a new one the same day. Not got round too connecting it all up yet though. Hopefully this one will be ok
