    What ink tank printer to buy? HP?

    I want to buy a tank printer and was looking for recommendations... Best choice HP? ONLY because of ability to send email and get prints done - this is the easiest solution for printing from things like mobile - all other solutions need apps and or other settings But how about... Quality...

    What new inkjet printer is easiest to refill?

    Hmmm... I've investigated... And you're all right. I find it hard to believe. The blood sucking animals that used to make money from poor people buying expensive ink and using on a cheap printer?? G2510 printer - that looks to be the cheapest. Is it any good? How reliable are they? How long do...

    What new inkjet printer is easiest to refill?

    Thanks for the replies. Both Epson and Canon, you can just refill with non manufacturer inks? Don't they have some evil way of detecting it's the wrong ink or something? I know someone who had an Epson - they spent like £450... Nothing but trouble since day 0.

    What happens if I fill PGI-520BK with CLI-521BK ink?

    Thanks for confirming guys. I thought it might clog the cartridges or something. Many sellers sell just 4 inks - I always wondered why they didn't sell 5. I understand better now. 🙂

    What new inkjet printer is easiest to refill?

    Just wondering... if I was to recommend a printer to buy for someone... that would be easy to refill... What should I recommend? In the past (many years ago), I would have recommended Canon. But don't know anymore. Thanks.

    What happens if I fill PGI-520BK with CLI-521BK ink?

    My laser toner run out! So I had to use my old Canon MX870. PGI-520BK was empty. I had ink for all cartridges apart from PGI-520BK. So I refilled with CLI-521BK ink. Just wondering if that's a bad idea? It got me out of prison for today. If not a good idea, I'll get stock of PGI-520BK ink. Thanks.

    Trouble filling in PG520 cartridge

    I haven't used my MX870 in ages now. Prints OK. I need to do a few head cleans I think. I have a new PG520 ink cartridge - now empty and needing refilling. I think that's what it's called - it's the big fat one. I've got the refill kit. I'm having trouble inserting the needle in. I've hit a...

    Where to buy toner refill powder?

    i think @PeterBJ explained :) just asking, that's all. in the past this and previous version of the forums were amazingly helpful. it's odd... i can't find any well populated laser forums. and suppliers are non existent. u always need a good variety i think

    Where to buy toner refill powder?

    The availability seems to be very very poor? Only a few sellers in eBay. (Lots of sellers in eBay USA). Black powder OK to get. But colours - only a handful of options. Amazon has hardly any at all. Thanks. AND... why is this forum not posted to...!? I see my last post from January still on...

    What laser printer to buy?

    I need to buy a new laser printer. I need a colour one. I will be printing 100+ pages a day on average. What laser should I buy that is easily refillable? I assume all need chips of some kind? Ideally: would like automatic duplex printing - but can live without. Importantly: these 100 pages...
