Anyone got a good website for buying ~~liquid gold~~ ink for your home printer?

Epson R220

Not really, but one time I bought a multipack from Epson directly. It had all the color inks except for Black, so a total of 5 colors. Someone at the warehouse must have misread the ticket, because I received 5 multipacks for the price of one! And no, I didn't return the extra ones!

You can get some good deals there on 3rd party inks, depending on what kind of printer you have.

That happened to me before. I buy my home ink for my epson cx6600 from ebay. The last time I ordered they sent double for the price of one set and it was cheap anyway (3rd party ink). And I think they did it on purpose for return business.

You work in printing man. Just dip a gallon out of the press and take it home!

Doh!

I certainly do that for paper and envelope needs, for sure.

Well I just ordered a double set of refilled cartridges for 25 bucks from the land Pandas and Jackie Chan.

We'll see :undecided:

i got an epson r300 a few years back for xmas. it had the ability to print on printable cd/dvd's. it was the only thing i used it for until i got a lightscribe drive..

I have used the cheap import inks (easily found on ebay) a few times. its OK ink for the money, though you probably will notice coverage/density differences from the EPSON inks..

Yea all I really use it for is the kids stuff and printing the occasional directions thing is it does a great job on glossy paper for photos.
