You should mention that you do sell originals as well!

I've tried value ones (not from your company) 3 times now in 3 seperate printers and every single one has messed up, so always stick to originals now, and wasn't even going to look at your site because I thought it was for value ones only

We do sell Originals, but currently trying to be selective on which products we are pushing at the minute,

Good article in computeractive about the dangers and benefits of using value inks. In some cases the cost per page is roughly the same as original inks.

Just had a look at the site and your prices are good for official inks but the postage costs make the savings quite small in comparison to store bought.

Hi Darra, The postage cost are only incurred if you are not in the Sheffield Area as we have to out-source the delivery (also every order over £50exc vat becomes free as well). Any orders from customers or businesses based in and around Sheffield, there is defaulf in the checkout giving you free delivery. - This prob explains itself a little better when you look at our Delivery Information tab at the bottom of the home page.

Have you got a link for the article you have read, tried to find it but theres a few to go at.

Postage I was quoted was £4:80 which as I said unfortunately takes away a big chunk of the savings

The article was in Issue 373 sorry it won't let me copy and paste the article

if the delivery address has sheffield post codes bewtween s1 - s60 it should default to zero delivery charge, any other areas it will charge the £4.00 + vat charge, unless the value is over £50.00 exc vat. if it does not do this,please advise and ill give my webman a little kick to fix the glitch, if you are outside the area then the delivery charge will be applied, we are aware that this is a little expensive for just one cartridge, we are looking at changing this to royal mail packet post (£2.20 no vat), but at the moment as we put on more general office product, businesses that will use the site will tend to have a mixed basket of goods,which makes the delivery quite fair. the compatible inkjets are already set up to include delivery charges,

No that sounds right I live in Lincolnshire so £4+ vat is correct. Maybe use you later when postage comes down.

Sorry to go off line, so to speak.

I am looking for a printer.

All in one, that prints on DVD-CD.

I have looked at the Canon and Epson one's.

Would/could you be able to give an opinion as to which would be the best make to buy?

Or even better still, make and model.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark, We could't recommend you the best printer to buy because theres two many to go at, i wouldnt want to recommend anyone a printer unless ive used it myself, everbody has a different opinion about which is best, ie some people love epsons over hp etc. i would certainly look for machines that you can get compatible cartridges for, because some original cartridges are very expensive. have a look at the links below - hopefully you will find what your looking for. if you find what your looking for give us a shout, we should certainly be able to price one for you. with ref to printing onto cd/dvd's we can supply the adhesive labels.

Thanks for your reply Steve.

It was a long shot, asking for an answer, but you don't ask you don't get.

I know Epson cartridges are cheaper than the Canon.

But Canon make the better printer, going on the reviews.

I would only get one that printed directly onto the discs, no labels.

i will keep looking.

Thanks again

Mark

WTF ?!??

Original ink - £40

Compatible ink - £4

[darra]

WTF ?!??

Original ink - £40

Compatible ink - £4

comparison was with cartridge yield and cost per page

e.g HP XL cartridges would cost 6.89 / page against TECs refilled cartridge costing 6.2p / page annual saving £6 / year. They do say using a Canon printer you could get savings of over £100 / year

Not dissing the lad. I would use him if it wasn't for the fact that postage makes it less cost effective and I never use compatible cartridges. Last time I did the printer stopped working. Some manufacturers are putting in fail safe where if you use a non chipped cartridge it triggers something which knacks your printer

We are as yet to hear about this one! kinda defeats the object from manufactures as if this was the case most would be out of business. The reason being if they wanted their machines to break as soon as you use 3rd party inks, they (the manufacturers) will under their warranty (if the machine is still under warranty) have to replace the machine, so why would they do this? the myth that they say your warranty is void if you use 3rd party inks is wrong and against the law - see chapter 50,section 2302 of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act which is backed up by American an EU Law. Also to add to this point why are companies like Xerox selling their own brand of re-manufactured toners covering various other printer manufacturers.

I'll check the comparison cost per page on some hp XL cartridges tomorrow - the saving per year will of course depend on how many cartridges you use each year. but you can work it out per cartridge used.

Also (because owlstalk sorted it ) my web-designer is currently altering the delivery rate on original ink cartridges - the new rate will come down from £4.00 + vat to £2.20inc vat - royal mail 2nd class packet post), This rate only applies to customers outside of Sheffield, where delivery is Free.

That would bring it in line with my local prices,might even give your compatibles a try are they chipped btw? Didn't know about the warranty btw

[piddster]

are they chipped btw?

99% of our compats are chipped, the only ones we do without the chip are the hp364xl, but we also sell them chipped.

cartridge ink saving per cartridge as i said i would compare a couple,

HP301XL BLACK (550 page yield) original = £0.045 per page, remanufactured = £0.033 page - save £5.98 per cartridge

HP301XL COL (330 page yield) original = £0.065 page, remanufactured = £0.053 - save cost £3.96 per cartridge

Brother LC1100 BLACK (450 page yield) original = £0.037 per page, compatible = £0.0046 - save £14.71 per cartridge

Brother LC1100 CYAN (325 page yield) original = £0.029 per page, compatible = £0.006 - save £7.40 per cartridge

Above costings are based on our own sites sell price inc vat, but exc any delivery charges, except on the brother lc1100 comapatibles where delivery is included

You will find on HP inks their is a smaller saving against originals, as most Non HP cartridges are chipped remanufactured cartridges, where as most epsons/brother/canon inks are chipped compatibles which are much cheaper to make.
