Hi Reg, I seem to remember that either Office Works or Harris Technologies had some Epsom inks at around $12.00 each, but do not know whether it is the TO491 series.
Like you I have always used only Epson inks, so cannot recommend other brands. I just wish Epson would make their print heads really serviceable, and at a reasonable price. I just love their scanners, my CX5300 is now used as a 'big' scanner!! I'm sure there will be someone with some good alternative.
