I have an Epson Stylus C60. Where have you found to be a reliable source online for inexpensive inkjet cartridges that are of acceptable quality? I’m tired of paying Epson $30 per cartridge for 100 pages of printing.
Thanks for the help
I have ordered from Pacific Ink in the past. Are your cartridges refillable? I have had good luck refilling my black HP cartridges.
Buy a Canon printer. Seriously. We just bought a Canon i475D for $90 at Office Depot. It can do photo quality color printing so it’s a good printer, but more importantly the refills are much cheaper than other brands. A black and white cartridge is $8. Color is $16. The cost of the new printer will pay for itself in no time.
Some models of Epson cartrodges have a computerized chip built in and CAN NOT be reloaded.
Toner Patrol in FL has or can supply almost any printer cartridge.

I’ve heard that most third-party replacement cartridges tend to clog the nozzles more easily, and/or don’t have the color vibrancy and brightness of the OEM stuff. Anyone want to confirm/deny this with their experiences?
(Epson 777 here; a set of color and B&W ink cartridges costs about $45. Fortunately I don’t print often enough to worry about this yet.)
I asked this a month or so ago with zip replies so I am glad you got some. I have found that carrots ink works great in my Epson Stylus Color 900 and is quite reasonable in price. Side-by-side with on OEM print I couldn’t tell the difference, but from my research non-OEM inks fade much more and faster than OEM inks do.
For much of my needs that is acceptable; I just keep an extra set of Epson carts around for special printings.
Infrequently used cartridges tend to dry out and clog up. this is why I abandoned my Epson Stylus Photo 870 color printer. Nice for photos but hard on B&W ink consumption.
Talked with Epson corporate person who alledgedly used theirs for mostly B&W and had long life out ot the black ink cart. Didn’t do much color if any. Went to a HP 4 in 1 color machine and it is reasonably satisfactory.
How about a color laser printer. Saw one at “Sams.” No more drying up of ink jets.
Need to examine cost factors. The ink jet machines are cheap but profit is in the ink carts. The laser in higher in intial cost but cartridge life makes end costs more reasonable.
“Beware of the Cog”
Tried third-party cartirdges on my parent’s C60, and they normally cost half the price and last half as long. And the print quality isn’t great. Stick with the Epson ones is my advice - although a cheap laser printer could quickly pay for itself if you’re printing large documents.
