Epson C62

Advantages: Good quality prints, low ink consumption
Disadvantages: Slightly noisy & fairly slow prints

...quality decreased, leaving huge black lines across my work. With the Epson I have, so far, not found that to be the case, and the print quality is crystal clear. Noise As described before, my previous experience with a Xerox printer was not good because it produced way too much noise for a little printer. The Epson does make noise when you first turn it on, this lasts for a minute or so, but when printing, it is extremely quiet, well compared to the Xerox it is! Ink Cartridges An Epson C62 ink cartridge will set you back as little as £5 with the colours (magenta, yellow and cyan) costing slightly more. But as stated above, unless you use them very frequently, you should expect to change them every several months or so. The Ink cartridges are very easy to install into the printer, you simply push the little tab on the colour you want...

Review of Epson Stylus C62

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...

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...

HP 350 ink cartridge

Advantages: quality
Disadvantages: price

...of the company. Whereas HP is a brand you can trust. The HP 350 ink cartridge is ideal for business or home users who want professional quality printouts. HP say you can get around 200 pages of printing from the product t a lot depends on your printer and the quality you print at. In conclusion you could take a gamble on a cheaper ink cartridge but HP is a brand you can trust and this product is of the high quality you would expect....

Review of HP 350 - print cartridge (CB335EE)

epson c62

Advantages: Small and Compact
Disadvantages: can be a bit noisy when printing

...We bought our computer a couple of years ago and to be honest i was always a hp sort of guy. it matched my computer. all my friends had started to get Epson printers and i felt a little left out. i searched a few shops to see what the prices were and i found that the average could be between 59.99 to 79.99 depending on what store you went to, some had special offers on at the time. The paper is fed through the back of the printer on a tray at the front. When you first load the disk, it leads you through everything that you wanted to know and you cant really go wrong along its installment. Epson printer inks go thro a charging the ink filter and it will prompt you to clean the ink heads and test. also if along the way you are printing something a message will come up and you can clean or charge your inks whenever. In the end...

Review of Epson Stylus C62

C62 is OK But..... There are better printers

Advantages: Good styling
Disadvantages: The peizo ink jet heads, ink wastage

...I bought a C62 as my first printer, 6 monthes down the line I had to return it to a local Epson agent, because on plain black text, it left squiggly blue broken lines, and sometimes a broken red line.... "the print head" said the dealer, to much of my amazement he threw it in a nearby rubbish bin, and handed me a replacement ( minus ink cartridges). What I did not realise is that he did not hand the receipt back, I thought he had put in the box. Guess what, the heads have started to require continous cleaning and Epson cartridges are not cheap, personally I put it down to the type of jets used, these are not thermal jets. Epson seems to be of no help, inspite of having the old and new replacement regestration documents. I am in the process of doing what the dealer did. I personally would never buy Epson products again, looking...

Get Your Cheap Ink Jet Cartridges Here

Advantages: Cheap, easy and fast delivery
Disadvantages: Not official branded refills

...I have been using this on-line supplier for my ink cartridges for about 18 months and have not had any problems whatsoever. I have ordered about 3 or 4 times from them and each visit has seen me conclude my order within a couple of minutes. As soon as you visit the homepage you are asked to type in the make and model of your printer and you will be presented with a choice of different kinds of products available. If your printer is not found you can search by manufacturer to find it, or another printer which is compatible. One handy little feature is that they download a cookie (think it's a cookie) which remembers details like your printer model last time you visited their page. This speeds up the process for future visits. As well as cartridges they sell cleaners, fax refills, ribbons and toner for laser printers too...

Review of Member Advice on Cheap Printer Cartridges

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

Epson Stylus C62

Advantages: Robust and Cheap
Disadvantages: Drinks ink especially non Epson Cartridges

...Epson can charge a lot more for the cartridges. It also makes it difficult for cartridges to be refilled as special equipment is required to reset the chips. This printer has an improvement which was an annoyance on the earlier C42. When the C42 cartridges decided they were empty the printer refused to print. The C62 shows the cartridges as being empty but will allow you to carry on printing until the cartridges are really empty. I've tried several makes of third party cartridges from good quality manufacturers but found that the printer does not like them. Epson's printer driver gives you a warning when you replace a cartridge with a non Epson original. I've had one third party cartridge that emptied after 2 weeks and printing less than 10 pages. The printer seems to simply drain the ink into the printer. Strangely when I...

Review of Epson Stylus C62

The woe of an Epson C62:

Advantages: OK as an all round printer
Disadvantages: Really noisy ink guzzler / expensive tanks

...My Epson C62 printer started to give me trouble about six months after purchasing it so I contacted Epson, after a few tests with their technical team and after wasting a vast amount of ink from their genuine ink tanks I was advised to take it to a local Epson dealer. "Print heads" said the dealer as though I had been printing on sandpaper....! He duly give me a replacement and literally threw the C62 straight into the nearest bin, I repeat " threw it", the replacement was of course minus the ink tanks and when I got home minus the guarantee and receipt of purchase documents. The problem was black lines on picture with a yellow cast about 1" from the left hand side and along the bottom of the picture, as though in a frame. The normal black & white text consisted of either blue or red straight lines through the text...
