    Best compatible inks for Epson
    « on: March 30, 2010, 05:33:52 AM »
    I have an Epson Stylus Photo EX that I bought in 1998 and it still works as well as when I first bought it!
    Unfortunately, it's gotten very difficult to buy the proper Epson replacement ink cartridges, especially the color.
    Is there any decent compatible brands that anyone out there would recommend?
    And please, don't tell me to get another printer. I will when I have absolutely no alternative.
    Thank you all in advance.

    So, you don't feel you must have Epson brand cartridges?  Is that right?  Have you looked at some of the online sellers?  I haven't used any online ink specialty sellers for a long time, so I won't recommend any specific ones.  I just Googled for printer ink cartridge refills and, obviously, there are many online sellers.  This one was at the top of the list: http://www.re-inks.com/ and I believe they have ink for your model printer. 

    What about regular retailers?  Do you have Walmart, Staples, OfficeMax, etc., in your area?  If local retailers don't carry ink for your printer, an online seller seems the best option.

    is this what you're looking for?

    see this link, and it says website says

    Epson Color Cartridge for Epson Stylus Photo, 700, 750 & EX Printers

    This website has a good reputation too, according to Web of Trust so I'm wondering if it's good for you? You said you have an Epson EX printer?

      I have used Pro Jet for the last 6 years or so and have had no problems with them. Epson original ones cost around £30+ for 6, but these ones only cost me £6 bargain. It's just a case of shopping around to find what you are looking for.
