it's 4inkjets. I have had good luck with their refilled cartridges. If your printer is still in warranty, using refilled cartridges may void it.

we have a Cartridge World shop here in St Augustine that refills your cartridges cheap , works great on Cannon printers, but now I have an HP Photo smart and it doesn't like generic anything.It will not even recognize the newly refilled cartridge - find good bargains at Target from time to time.

I used to buy only the authentic cartridges but the last time I bought re-manufactured on ebay because I did not want to put out $50.00 or more since mostly what I print are patterns and recipes. I was hesitant but I don't have an expensive, top of the line printer so figured they were worth a try. They loaded and work just fine. I think I paid around $11.00 or so for two, one black and one color. I will order from this guy again and keep my fingers crossed that I have a similar experience. (I use an HP Photosmart D5069 printer.)

Do you remember who your using on Ebay? That is a great price for printer ink!!

Yes, this is who I bought them from:

http://myworld.ebay.com/techsupplies...id=p4340.l2559

It was $10.95 for the two cartridges, one black and one color. Plus the shipping is free. (He has other auctions for more than just two cartridges if you are interested.) These people have a 99.8 feedback rating with almost 21,000 items sold. They were very communicative ... sending me several emails confirming payment, shipping date, and asking if I had any problems to contact them. I was impressed and I had no trouble with loading or using the cartridges. My printer "told me" when I loaded them that they were not authentic HP cartridges and could not tell me when I would start to run out of ink. Not a big deal for me. Hope this helps.

I ordered the fake ink refills, that is suppose to work. They locked up my printer. I do not know if they will work with the right ink cartrige now. As I bought a different printer.

My question to you is: Where do you purchase your printer ink online?

Thank you for your time.

I buy them at Costco. Prints many, many pages.

Hi Thrums try carrotink.com. My cousin recommended them and also my sister buys from them for her business. She has high volume printing. She did say that one cartridge for nx4000 has lasted a long time, but another cartridge for a smaller printer in her business didn't last very long (6 months). I myself refill at Cost Co for $8. I live 150 miles from nearest Cost Co so I take 2 cartridges at a time to refill (one is my back-up). Good luck, Chris

Thanks for the link. I may try the high yield ink. My Costco is equally as far away. I'll see what it has online. 8-)

I use Inkgrabbers.com. They have been great! I order for many printers. My last order I got a cartridge that didn't work and they sent my another at no charge and overnighted it!
