Printer Ink

Got some more ink off ebay for my epson r300 printer, it takes 5 colour inks and a black

I got 3 of all the colours and 5 blacks (20 in total) for £8.99 with free postage

I have just got back from tesco and noticed they are selling 1 of every colour plus a black (6 in total) for £69.95 = £11.65 per ink!!!!!!

So i got 20 inks for less than one ink in tesco!

Are there really any people out there that would pick that off the shelf and buy it?! you could buy a new printer for that!

Advice - always buy ink of ebay - i have done for 5 years now and never had any issues with the ink, plus i print photos etc and haven't noticed any problems.

How does that work then? I've got a 15 (at least!) year old HP Deskjet 710 sat next to me that refuses to break and using Tesco own brand cartridges is seriously cheap for B/W printing BUT sat next to that is an Epson Stylus RX560 3 in one thingy which because of the price of the tiny ink cartridges I really only ever use as a scanner BUT for decent colour stuff it knocks the Deskjet into the middle of next week......... BUT if you just had to buy the ink......??????
