I have always treated non genuine inks with caution. Obviously it
depends on the purpose of the print. Fine art and archival is one end
of the scale, routine document printing is the other, relatively short
term family photo prints are in the middle. I bought a colour laser
printer some years ago to handle large volumes of routine document
printing with coloured letterheads and some graphics. That was
nearly three years ago and to date I have only replaced the black
cartridge and that fairly recently. In that period I have probably
done 7000+ A4 sheets. Fuji-Xerox C525A, cost less than $400 and the
best printer investment ever. I retain an Epson SP1290S and an Epson
R2880 for art work, and yes, they still chew up the ink cartridges and
expensive papers, genuine Epson of course!
If you have large volume document printing go for a laser printer!

Hi folks
I have always bought the genuine inks for my printer, but now that
we have 3 printers between us it's getting expensive.
What do Wamuggers think of the non genuine cheap inks as far as
damage which may be caused to the printers and true colour inks
which do not fade?
Cheers
