Is there a consensus on ink? I have two ink-jets, a Canon Pixma
iP6220D and an HP Photosmart C4400 series (as well as a laser
printer), and have been finding it increasingly difficult to get
replacement third-party cartridges that work, especially with the
Canon.
In what way don't they work?
Have you tried other brands? Have you tried refirb carts from local
ink/refill shops?
My choices seem to be, in descending order of cost:
1. Branded cartridges
2. Third-party cartridges
3. Refilling myself, by hand
As we all know, #1 is very expensive, but of course the
manufacturers make their money on the ink, not the machines. #2 is
as noted above. Do you-all have recommendations on whether it makes
any sense to go to #3, which I have never done, or just suck it up
and go to #1?
Finding 3rd party carts can be difficult sometimes. Once you find a
good supplier, stick with 'em.
I'm not big on refilling myself. Too messy.
Donno what your print volume is, but given the per page cost of
inkjets... It might be worth dumping all your printers for a single
color laser or a crayon pooper.
