To think the price is extortionate

Compatibles should be OK unless you are printing photos and need high quality.

It is also worth buying the inks from ebay - originals or compatibles are cheaper there.

But I realise you were "caught short" so to speak and had to get what you could. I agree that the prices are ridiculous.

I have an Epsom printer it’s a nice printer and cost me about £40 so far so good however the price of the inks has been increasing Today my blue one ran out, I only wanted to print a document in black but it won’t print without a full complement of inks So I went to the shops to buy some new ones You can’t buy the colours separately only in a pack of four although you can buy the black one separately
The first shop I went to where I usually buy had none so it was Ryman or WHS, I called in WHS which was nearest Hold your breathe folks £92 I then went to Ryman’s and they were £70 I really really object to paying so much for ink
I have tried compatibles but they just didn’t work and it’s more money wasted
How do you all ge5 on
