RE: [DIY] Computer printer ink

Dell uses a variety of manufacturers for their printers, one is even made and serviced by Xerox, however almost all soho (small office home office) machines are considered throw aways. They are made to last a while, then when they break it is more expensive to fix than replace. I usually get about 3 cartridges out of a Lexmark before it starts misfeeding, then you just add about 15 bucks to the price of an ink cartridge and buy a new printer with ink in it.

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
