Champaigne or Printer Ink?
Be careful - this is an old post and may not work anymore!
Who knew printer ink was more expensive than champagne? Unbelievable, particularly considering that cartridges are shipping with less and less ink.
Alternatives
There are alternatives but from a quick google they are incredibly risky and can do anything from produce poor quality prints to ruining the printer heads. There are ‘refurbished’ cartridges but even they don’t have a great reputation.
The first set of replacement cartridges I purchased were refurbished and the printer just flat out refused to accept them.
Pony up
So, time to pony up the 50 pounds to replace 4 cartridges of ink. Amazon seem to be the cheapest, still, 50 pounds. Unbelievable.
