I'm guessing, since I've received exactly one response, that either I was shouting into a well missing it's bedraggled child, or very few of us use refurbed cartridges. :-)


Yes.
When I decide to print an image of mine I want the best result possible in the least amount of effort. If you have an issue with inks that are not from the printer's mnufacturer, where do you go ? I'm very happy with Epson Inks on my three printers & can get them at decent prices from http://www.atlex.com/. I've never used other people's inks & don't care if they might save me a few pennys.

Nor would I that were the case. For my printer, the cheapest I can get genuine cartridges is close to £20. I can get refurbs for £2. They are _positively not_ 10x worse than the genuine ones. They produce consistent, close-enough-to-original-colour-that-I-cannot-tell-the-difference for 1/10th the price. No printer issues. It's a no-brainer for me.


There's no such thing as a free lunch.
