Can anyone recommend some where to get inkjet printer cartridges on t’internet.

There was a thread on here a while ago that had some suppliers and discount codes that was really useful and I cant find it now.

Thanks for any assistance.

Do you want genuine or not?

Premier Ink do both - genuine replacement stuff & Jet Tec cheaper stuff.

Last time I was looking for my parents' printer, they needed to replace the lot and Argos did a pack that was cheapest than anywhere else I could find online for genuine stuff.

I went with the non genuine ‘recycled’ option based on a recommendation from here last time and they were very cheap and all have worked perfectly so far.

Failing finding my previous supplier I am happy to give somewhere else a go.

The printer manufacturers will tell you that fake ink will clog your printer nozzles (if the nozzles aren't in the cartridge) and their colours are better, more stable, won't fade as quickly etc.

I am not sure if that's true or not. In some cases it probably is, in other cases it probably isn't.

I use Amazon. They even have a little tool that selects the right cartridges for you. *very* cheap and I think I've had one cartridge that didn't work. At about 2 quid each I can take that hit (compared to the 12 quid each they normally are.)

From a secret source what provides me with short-date/recently out of date cartridges for nowt. 😉

Used to flog quite a few on Ebay too, but the supply has 'dried up' somewhat.

(See what I did there? Did you like it? Stay tuned for such a thing may well be repeated soon...)

Ebay is a good place to look for very cheap short-date stuff like that. Like, £3-4 for £20-30 cartridges.
