THINK INK!

Advantages: Easily obtainable, good value, recyclable.
Disadvantages: Really just the idea of it not being a genuine new original!

...MY HISTORY WITH INK CARTRIDGES: From the time I bought my first printer, I have really had nothing but problems when it has come to keeping them supplied with ink! The brand named cartridges generally contain less ink for your money and so they need either need replacing more frequently, or you pay considerably more. My first printer, an Epson, was bought along with bottles of refill ink and a syringe to inject each colour into the colour cartridge, and a bottle of black for the other one. The salesman in PC World assured me it was easy? well it was the first time, apart from the mess! then the second time I just flooded the printer, and I had to buy new cartridges. My second printer a Lexmark, had the same thing happen and I eventually scrapped it! Now I have a HP PSE 1317 inkjet 3 in 1, and I love it, but the ink cartridges...

Miami Ink!

Advantages: Interesting to watch, loads of cool tattoos to look at
Disadvantages: Often I find myself wanting a tattoo done by Chris Garver but unfortunately I don't live in Americ

...Miami Ink, if you haven't heard about it already, is a TV show about a tattoo parlour in Miami (if you hadn't already guessed!). The series began in July 2005, introducing four eager tattooists, Ami James, Chris Nunez, Chris Garver and Darren Brass, as well as Ami's apprentice, Yoji Harada. Throughout the episodes new tattooists enter and go, the most famous probably being Kat Von D who turned the studio around with her beautiful portrait tattoos. Each show lasts about an hour long, and during that time we see a variety of clients enter the studio to get their tattoos. The guys who run/work in the studio are all fairly young, heavily tattooed and have been through different walks of life. Most of them have spent their lives tattooing, so working in the shop you can tell means a lot to them. Each artist has a different personality...

Tesco Cheap Ink Cartridge

Advantages: Cheap, Does the Job
Disadvantages: Printouts are not very good,Tends to smudge easily

...I purchasd this this third part ink cartridge whilst out shopping in my local Tesco store for just under £3 which seemed like a bargain so i thought i'd give it a go. I've used other third party ink cartridges in the past so thought i'd try this one out too since Tesco seem to make everything now. As with all third part ink cartidges,the initial prints are good and of acceptable standard considering that they can cost up to 90% less than the genuine original ink cartidiges. However as you print out a few more,mthe quality degrades considerably and you'll also notice that the ink does not last as long as the original ones do. The print outs are also prone to smudging and take ages to dry properly compared to the originals and the ink dries up faster if you haven't used them for a long time. I also found that using the printer cleaning...

Review of Tesco C53 Black Ink Cartridge

cheapest ink around

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: none

............................................................................ .............................................. This review is of the black colour of ink which is the black colour cartridge you have to get for your printer. The actual name of this cartridge is the brother lc 600bk, obviously then this only fits inside of brother printers and there is also a limit to what brother printers this one can actually go into. You can use this cartridge with any of brothers MFC 3100C, MFC 3200C, MFC 3200J, MFC 3220, MFC 3320, MFC 3420, MFC 3820, MFC 580, MFC 590, MFC 880, MFC 890, MFC 5100C, MFC 5100J, MFC 5200C, MFC 5200J. It also works with brothers 1800C fax machine too. The great thing about brother ink is not only is it great quality and can get you some great prints as well as some great quality photos with normal ink like...

Review of Brother LC 600BK - ink tank (LC600BK)

great cheap ink

Advantages: its cheap
Disadvantages: none

...Bay. If you buy the whole four set you can get them all for, the cheapest iv seen being just £6.99. This is cheaper than the usual price for most individual cartridge of other printer manufacturers for their ink so its fantastic value for money. Brother also claims that on average this cartridge will last around 450 prints, however if your mainly printing black and white documents like me then this will obviously not use any of the ink on these prints so it really depends how much of the colour is on your prints to how much prints this cartridge will print you, but realistically this should last you quite a long time, and for a price of just £2 per cartridge there really isn’t any need for sparing prints anyway. Even if you haven’t got a printer that’s compatible with brother ink then I would strongly advise getting...

Review of Brother LC 600M - ink tank (LC600M)

**I've Been Inked**

Advantages: Great storys, tattoos and interviews
Disadvantages: None

...I have always been a big fan of Tattoo art work, and I often caught an odd episode here and there of Miami Ink on Discovery Real Time and quite enjoyed the show. Having only seen about 7 episodes of the TV show which were all from either season two or three, I decided to browse the internet to see if I could pick up a cheap season 1 box set on DVD, I was quite expecting to pay about £30-40 for the box set because there are 20 episodes in total for series one of Miami Ink. I was browsing the internet for the box set looking for the cheapest price available and found that Play.com was the cheapest by far. I only paid £12.99 for the box set which is almost three times cheaper than some other online retailers selling the Miami Ink box set as they were all priced well above £30. Miami Ink is a reality show which gives us an insight into...

An Ink-ling That This Is Great

Advantages: Fast Delivery & Quality Inks
Disadvantages: Different Ink Cartridges

...I recently bought some ink cartridges from 999 Inks having discovered them on Topcashback! (I seem to do all my online shopping through Topcashback). They offered between 10-18% cashback so I thought why not! I found the ink cartrdiges I needed for my empty printer the Epson Photo R220. I had heard alot about buying inks for good prices but this was really good I thought. I found a fullset of my ink cartridges (not Epson) for £13.95 and even included free postage and packaging! Plus I will be getting my 10-18% cashback! I thought... bargain! So went again and bought them even with the postal strike going on. I ordered the inks on the 24th October and received them on the 28th October. Even with the weekend between and the postal strike I received them in 4 days and only 3 working business days. I was rather pleased to say the least...

Review of 999inks.co.uk

An interesting review about........er......INK!

Advantages: Good colour - long-lasting
Disadvantages: They cover idiots in ink

...Hey ho. How surreal to be reviewing ink. Does anyone else do this? Why am I sitting here at 10 o\'clock at night reviewing an ink cartridge? Do I love it? No. Err.......have I had an unusual and vaguely witty experience with this cartridge? Not really. Was I bored and thought I\'d go do a review about the first thing I found that I owned and hey look........2 pound signs!!! Woo! That\'ll be it. To be fair, I use a lot of these things here and at work (see scintillating review of canon i550) so I suppose I\'m as qualified as anyone. It\'s good ink - of course it is. Canon would not be popular if their branded ink was pants. It has super coverage and definatly stands proud where you compare it to the compatibles. This is especially true of photo-printing on photo paper. Am I sure? Yep. In the main corridor in school we have got...

Review of Canon BCI 3E - ink tank (BCI3EY)

Genuine Epson Ink Black T0481 better or not

Advantages: great photo quality & long print run
Disadvantages: expensive

...over 500 sheets but obviously it all depends on what you are printing, I work in the digital imaging field and this series lasts alot longer that the black cartridges used in the D series printers for instance. The T0481 epsom cartridge holds 13ml of ink and like i said lasts noticably longer than many other cartridges PRICE Epson £15.34 as of 17/07/09 & Just Ink & Paper - £13.89 Free pp If printing on glossy photo paper I would recommend that you use only the original T0481 black cartridge to ensure the ink stays put on the paper, if you use ink that does not dry as fast and has a lower quality it will degrade even before the print has dried thus the picture would end up in the bin so don't waste your money on poor quality. Photo quality prints demand the T0481 however if you just need to print on copy paper, text etc...
