Hi Ronda Have managed to get the cartridge recognised BUT it will not print - it appears that there are a variety of chips and I need the one on T0731 and not PE0731 Thats Life Many thanks Gerald Lloyd On 10/03/2011, at 11:44 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: At this link it states the Ink

Re: Cheap ink

Hi Gerald, Oh yes, if the cartridge has the incorrect chip, the chip refuses to register, nothing short of exchanging the cartridge will solve your problem. I’ve always purchased Epson Brand Cartridges for my Epson printers. Daniel Kerr (Macwizardry) supplies all my cartridges at a very

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

Horses for courses! For most print jobs non original inks perform well. I would think that a serious print job would rate a dedicated photo printer and with that, genuine inks, but for the bulk of print jobs on a regular printer my eye cannot see the difference. Over the years I have

RIHAC continuous ink system Following the meeting earlier this year I took the step of buying the rihac continuous ink supply system as a means of reducing the cost of genuine or refilled cartridges. To say that the continuous ink system is complicated is an understatement. The manual is

Thanks Graeme I'm not sure which printer you have (possibly Canon) but my experience with the RIHAC CISS with my Epson Photo R230 has been very easy and almost flawless over the last 15 months. No drama with having to insert chips (they're in the supplied continuous cartridges) and the

Thanks for your input folks. it seems that it's 2 to 1 against refills so far. Anyone else like to weigh in? Cheers John On 04/03/2010, at 12:15 PM, KEVIN Lock wrote: I refill most of the printer cartridges I have used with compatible inks.Almost impossible to get Brother compatible

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

Hi John, If you want quality Prints no chance of damage to your printer by leaking ink, use your Printers recommended genuine inks paper. I've always used Epson Printers, with Epson Ink Cartridges and Epson recommended paper for the specific job. This way the Printer Driver / software ---

Thanks Ronni Enough said I'll stick to the branded Epson. Cheers John Hi John (Feltham) Yes I remember your post, it looked complicated so I didn't pursue it any further. Cheers On 07/03/2010, at 5:31 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi John, If you want quality Prints no chance of damage to

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

I used to refill but then I noticed the difference in colours -washed out against real Epsom and real Canon now I buy the original brand. I sweem to remember there was a fair amount of traffic on this a few years ago. tomsamson On 07/03/2010, at 6:55 PM, John Feltham wrote: G'day john, On

Inkjet cheap ink

Hi folks I have always bought the genuine inks for my printer, but now that we have 3 printers between us it's getting expensive. What do Wamuggers think of the non genuine cheap inks as far as damage which may be caused to the printers and true colour inks which do not fade? Cheers

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

I refill most of the printer cartridges I have used with compatible inks.Almost impossible to get Brother compatible ink though. Always had good results with no print-head breakdowns. Very messy if you are not careful. Cartridge world swaps your cartridge for a full one for much less

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

John, I moved to recycled cartridges for my epson printers and since moved back again. I was getting drying problems and wasting lots of paper trying to get the nozzles to clear - so wasn't saving anything. I think the cartridges are an appalling recycling issue and create a substantial

Re: Inkjet cheap ink
