Have you tried going to HP; sometimes they have good prices. I get mine refilled at Rapid Refill. We've been using the company for over 10yrs at the hospital with no problems plus they guarantee their products. I know that printer companies try to say that if you use refilled cartridges it voids the warranties but that is illegal; plus like I said, RR guaratees them and it's a big price difference.

I agree with you. I've owned HP printers for over 20 yrs and I've never had a problem with the ink lasting even when I'm not using it. I've owned different deskjet models along with all in ones and I have a small photo printer for over 7 yrs and only changed the cartridges once. I have no problems printing in color either; it just last which is why I like it so well.

Without any hesitation, I research all of the shops on eBay and find the best buy for my money. I never pay over $3.00 for my cartridges. However, my sister just bought an HP, bad choice, they require some of the highest priced cartridges. I have a wonderful Canon printer and never buy cartridges at a store. I might add that I have never once had problems with any of the eBay purchases in the last 6 years or so.

I have the HP Photosmart -love the printer but the ink is very pricey- I, too, used the refilled ones at CVS ,and my printer would not even recognize the cartidge- read my trusty instruction book - in plain language - will not use refills ! CVS refunded my money , won't do that again.

Where to get HP Printer Ink
[QUOTE=thrums;3436331]I went to WalMart (our only discount store in the area) to purchase a black ink cartridge for my HP 6500 printer. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the price: $20.97 for only 300 pages! Yikes!
My question to you is: Where do you purchase your printer ink online?

Staples has ink for my HP Photo-smart C5280, and it's a larger one than I've ever
gotten before. Probably got it about this time last year, and it's still going strong.
I used to have to replace the black ink every 6 or so months, but this is still chugging
along. I will definitely get this same thing again. I'll even take the empty cartridge
along to make sure I get the right one.

I have HP printers and love them but yes, the ink for all printers can be expensive. I go to a place here called Rapid Refill to get them; they are less than half price. I work at a hospital and we've used them for yrs without any problems so I knew they were good. I work in the IT dept so I know we've had good luck with them. They guarantee their products without fail. Oh, and the thing that if you use a filled toner it invalidates your warranty; that's not true and illegal. But no matter what, Rapid Refill will honor it if there is a problem which is good because after a few yrs there isn't a warranty any ways.
