Re: [DIY] Computer printer ink

I had an Epson a while back, and I liked it, too. I also had a panasonic pin matrix printer because I *thought* that would save me money but I finally got rid of it. Now I have a HP something which I bought from the HP website, and I got quite a nice deal on it. I even got a 2 year warranty and replacement thing because one of the printers I had got smashed and broke and I decided to get those cheap warranties after a camera also *broke.* I was so glad I got the warranty deal from Walmart for one of those portable netbooks because the thing really *did* break (the screen got smashed) and even though I could use it, I had to work my way around the blotched screen to see all the writing on it. I decided to call for the insurance, it was about $12 to buy from Walmart when they sold it to me, and the insurance people sent me out a check for the purchase price, bingo, just like that. So I never even GOT another netbook, I could use the old one, but eventually I decided to get rid of that, too, because I got a smartphone that connects me with the internet, SINCE I would take the netbook into places like Denny's which offers "free wifi," but when I wanted to connect, my netbook did not do the job, and the management told me that the phones work better. So goodbye to the broken netbook. Oh, and about the current HP printer I have with the policy. One day I could not make it work like I needed it to, and I called the service place under the contract, and I got a fellow in India. And he walked me through it step-by-step, taking over the printer and computer with my permission, of course, and fixed everything. As a result, I'm probably on the most wanted list of somewhere, but I'll have to live with that right now. But I was truly amazed to see how they did it all the way from India. (If they did it from around the corner via electronic means to my computer, it would not have amazed me so much <g>) Cindi

I believe that their inkjet and laser printers are made exclusively by Lexmark for the past several years.

I had a couple of Lexmark inkjet multi-function printers and they were extremely reliable. The only gripe

I had was the cost of ink (and the outrageously large, bloated software that needs to be installed on the pc's).

I now have an Epson Workforce multi-function inkjet printer and I *really* like it.

Both of our printers are DELL's and we are quite pleased with them. The bigger machine is color and doubles as a copier a feature which I've yet to use. The color prints are near photo quality depending on the paper used.

Dale,
What brand of laser did you get? Are you pleased with it so far?

I bit the bullet and went to laser printers only. One for full color and the other for B/W because the ink went bad before we would use it up and it just seemed to make sense.

That is nice to know, because Lexmark used to make cheap printers, but had dedicated ink cartridges for their printers that could not be refilled, but which were very expensive, about the same as their printers.

You are correct. I stopped buying HP because in the past you could not get good clone ink for HP. But now I hear that you can clone everybody.

Maybe this can save someone a few dollars. For years I've been re-filling my ink cartridges with fair sucess. About a year ago I got a new HP printer and have had terrible luck with re-filling. My previous one was also HP, a different model.
Anyhow, I've now tried re-filled cartridges purchased on ebay and have great success with them at really low prices.
Note to anyone who thinks I'm spamming:
I have no association with the sellers other than buying from them, and there are a lot of sellers on ebay, but the one I'm using is ezink123.
Thought someone might want to try this. Ed
