Canon MP 460 printer

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: poor photo prints

...to print over 50 different photos. All of them were left looking like everyone had freckels and skin tones were next to useless. Definatly not ones you want to show anyone. Even when put through a cleaning cycle there was no difference. On the bright side, when you printed text using only black ink it was crisp and very clear right down to no 8 font size. Apart from the nice looking screen area it has nothing to excite me. After using the machine for a week I have took it back to the shop, why, because of the banding, lack of colour depth and a sqeek on the slide rail when the cartridges are going across. So not really impressed with this one. I would stay clear and pay more for a good printer. Canon has failed on this one I think....

Review of Canon Pixma MP460

  Canon Pixma mp 460 - Fantastic all in one

Advantages: lcd display, durability, optional Bluetooth connection, qualitys, speed, design, functionality, rich software, reliability
Disadvantages: could be litle smaller

.... Just think for a second and ask yourself a question. How would it be to have a scanner, printer and photocopy machine in one device? I had like this about year ago and it is not comfortable. You occupy only USB ports, have more cables behind and less room for anything on a desk. Cannon came across with Pixma mp460. This quite medium sizes device is brilliant and quality breath taking. Printed a number of pictures with it on an Ilford glossy photo paper and could not believe that they look so great. Printed previously some pictures from Snappy Snaps and there was absolutely no difference. First what I can truly tell is that all information's I give you come from my experience only. I own this device so my review is going to be as close to reality as only possible. I have got it 9 months already. Let's start. Display Very...

Review of Canon Pixma MP460

Canon Yellow Third party Ink Cartridge

Advantages: Cheap, Does the job, Better for the environment
Disadvantages: Printing results are not very good

...This review is for the yellow Canon ink cartridge that i bought from my local ink refill store. I bought this as ink for canon printers can be extortinate so decided i would try and save on costs and try out third party ones. on first impressions,the only thing that appeared different from the original ink cartridges was the packaging. In terms of printing quality,it looked quite similar however when i started printing out more and more copies,the morethe quality degraded. The ink cartridge doesn't last as long either as the genuine ones. They also have a tendency to smudge and also do not dry as quickly. Overall i probably would not recommend them unless you are looking to use it very ocassionally...

Review of Print cartridge (BCI-6Y)

THINK INK!

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

...asked and got a refund! I WENT TO TESCO! Being out of ink, and having sent the replacements back, I needed ink badly; I couldn't print off any of my holiday snaps to bore colleagues with at work! A speedy trip to Tesco followed, just to see what they sold and I was amazed! New ink cartridges in many well known brands, and their own remanufactured cartridges lined a back wall. CHOOSING YOUR INK: Tesco provide a laminated flip paged book showing many makes and models of printers they can supply ink for. There is a colour coded indexed list of the four most popular names: HP - Yellow LEXMARK - Green EPSON - Blue CANON - Red There is also a smaller section for other makes including 'Brother' 'Samsung' 'Dell' and 'Kodak' You look for the pages for your printer, find the page covering the model number, and see...

Review of Tesco Remanufactered Ink Cartridges

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

HP 350 ink cartridge

Advantages: quality
Disadvantages: price

...As with all HP products you can expect great quality and crisp grey scale images. The benefit of using Original HP inkjet print cartridges is that they offer consistent print quality and reliable performance.With the HP 350 you can expect "archival-quality documents that resist fading for decades" thanks to HP Vivera Ink. Although HP print cartridges are coming down in price you can still expect to pay a lot more than other substitute brands. The real question is whether the extra money is worth it. With some of the alternative products on the market today I am inclined to believe you can the same quality for less money. Many alternative ink cartridges contain more ink than official HP cartridges, however the problem with these cartridges is not always being sure of the quality of the product you are buying, nor the reliabilty...

Review of HP 350 - print cartridge (CB335EE)

VIVANCO Ink Cartridge Replacements

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: can be messy

...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...

Review of Red-Shark - ink cartridges

Excellent Value for Money, good ink cartridge

Advantages: Cheap and reliable, lasts a fair while
Disadvantages: none really..

...Yeah i agree with the last comment really. Nice, reaonably priced good quality cartridge. They fit MOST of the hp printer range, but not all, Cheap ish, as far as ink cartidges go, not a bad price at all, and to be honest they do last a fair while, so the value for money is good Quality, not the best, but certainly more than adequate for good quality photos, i have always liked hp printers, for their quality of print, hence why i chose mine this time There isnt much more i can say about it to be honest, if you want a nice quality printer, choose one with this ink cartridge, nice price, nice quality, good product, i would recommend it. Ill give it a 5, i would give it a four, because the quality isnt the best available, but for the money, reliability, and time they last, they deserve a five....

Review of HP 338 - print cartridge (C8765E)

Cheaper ink Cartridges from Ink2u.co.uk

Advantages: Cheaper Ink for most Brands
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I found www.ink2u.co.uk via an opinion by davegroom here on Ciao and decided that I would have a look when we needed some ink in a hurry and had found that the cartridges for our Lexmark Z12 wouldn’t refill properly with the ink that I had purchased. The site itself is really easy to navigate. From the home page you select the brand of printer that you have and then select the model of the printer. This then brings up all the products in stock for your specific printer. As I said, we have a Lexmark Z12 and have found the cartridges to be between £25 and £30 in our local shops, if they have them in stock. At ink2u.co.uk the remanufactured cartridges are £16.95 for Black and £18.95 for a colour, or £34.40 for the two, so we ordered them on Sunday night. They arrived on Tuesday morning - now that’s what I call service...

Review of Member Advice on Inkjet Cartridge Refills

Roger Me Stupid, Cheap Inkjet Cartridges

Advantages: Cheap and Just As Good As Epson
Disadvantages: May Affect waranty

...just slot them into the required slot and you are away. The ink level meters work as well as ever but it is noted that you are not using an Epson cartridge which could affect your warranty. Comparing these babies against the Epson, by printing out a photograph I previously printed using Epson cartridges I can see no visible difference in quality, and there is the same lack of smudging. My only concern being now how long they last when compared to Epson cartridges...... That was easily tested by printing out a copy of my 130 page thesis that my former boss and now emeritus pain in the backside professor wanted a copy of. This takes up about 2/3 of most of the cartridges which was about the same as the Epson printers. So I can safely say that they are an absolute bargain, as they do the same job for half the price. The only downside is...
