norman_valentine Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 <p>I have thought about compatible inks for my R2880 but then realised that I bought it because it uses what I was told were the best inks available. I will stick with Epson inks. If they ever produce a CIS system I will buy it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhbebb Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 <p>Generally third party inks are much cheaper and of much lower quality. They will cause print heads to block and will invalidate the printer warranty. They are fine if you are printing hundreds of copies of sales reports with color bar charts - otherwise, forget them!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howard_m Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 <p>best prices are elusive; it's not always the same place that has the best prices on any given month.</p> <p>try:<br> antonline.com<br> atlex.com<br> bhvideo.com</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_t.1 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 <p>Also try the Red River Paper website. They sell Epson and Canon inks, very competitive prices the last time I checked.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhbebb Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 <p>Don't know where you live, Kah! Epson are pretty active in discouraging cut-price sales of their products - in the UK there is the option of buying from sellers in Jersey free of sales tax (VAT). I often buy on e-bay - at least for my HP office printer. When it comes to my Epson 3880, cartridges may be slightly cheaper here or there, but there are no bargains!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsimmons Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I haves used MIS inks in my Epson R2400 for years. Same result as with Epson inks. Passes months long fading tests taped to window facing the sun. Occasional clogs but temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobmichaels Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 <p>3rd party inks vary in quality and value as much as used cars. I know from first hand experience that the MIS inks are every bit as good as the Epson ink. There may be others as good, possibly from the same ink factory. I also know that some cheap 3rd party inks are plain junk. But no one can fill a cartridge as well as Epson does.<br> 3rd party inks absolutely do not void the warranty unless the manufacturer can show a failure was directly caused by a 3rd party product. That was decided in a significant court case many years ago. Otherwise Ford would be able to require you to only use Motorcraft oil and filters in their products and GM would require you to use Delco oil and filters in your Chevrolet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
