Printer Ink Refills? Whats the best place to purchase generics?

[anonymouschris]

Okay, my HP finally ran out of ink and I've been printing in gray scale using my color ink cartridge. time to stop being lazy and just buy the black. ink from HP is way to expensive and i'm looking to purchase generic ink. Having reviewed the ratings on these stores (swiftink, etc) I'm cautious and would like some feedback from AT on which is the best place to go for price/quality.

Thanks.

A few years ago, I tried using refilled cartridges, and they screwed up my printer.
Since then, I've only used the brand name refills and have had no more problems.
I usually buy one color and two black refills every 6 months.

I'm sure some would say that generics work, but I'm not convinced and my printer is critical to my work each day.

Are they made out of lasers as well?

They shoot lasers from their eyes... just like the 50ft robot that Michael Jackson is putting in Vegas.

Generic ink cartridges screw up printers. I have seen 7 printers die due to generic cartridge use.

That was my experience with the ONLY time I tried aftermarket ink. Ruined a perfectly good Epson CS 600...
I have a similar thread going right now in peripherals:
