Advantages: Cheap and easy to use.Appearance Disadvantages: Sound quality
My speakers are a clear dark blue. They are plastic and smooth to the touch. They look quite modern. The left speaker has the vivanco logo on it and the right speaker has a voloume knob , underneath the power swith and a headphone socket. The speakers are wired together and easily plug into the pc using the small green plug. There is another wire with is the main plug you just plug that into a plug socket and they work. The sound quality is quite poor as it can sometimes be muffled or jumpy. The thing i hate most about them is that often they cut off. I have found many of times that while i am listening to music on my pc either one stops working or they both stop and i have to tap them to work again .

With the ever growing cost of ink replacement cartridges everyone is looking for an alternative they can afford. One of the hardest printers to get cheap ink for are the Epson Stylus range. Technically you can not refill the ink cells, but that is a myth.
Most business type computer outlets sell unknown ink brands in kit form with a syringe and instructions on how to fill the appropriate cartridge. Firstly i would not recommend refilling your old ones, It's messy, Awkward, and very rarely is effective, at least on a third or fourth refill. What i would recommend is a cartridge made by VIVANCO. Their cartridges are virtually exact duplicates of the original Epson range but they are only about 2 thirds of the cost. The ink quality is good and the print quality has no noticeable difference.
However, if you own pretty much any other ...
