Epson Inkjet Printer 3rd Party Continuous Ink System!

I've been getting fed up recently shelling out money on ink cartridges for my cheap Epson printer (£20 SX130 from Argos) and then hearing unused ink splosh around in the old cartridges when there replaced

so I scoured the internet until I came upon this:




It's called a Continuous Ink System basically it has a huge reservoir of ink connected to some modified standard cartridges which creates a vacuum to allow ink to steadily flow into the cartridges when needed and it's going to save me a fortune! it took maybe 20 minutes to install and I've already printed tons of stuff, my ones a little different to the one pictured above but it was only £25 in comparison to the one above which is nearer £60

 

I keep getting low ink on my HP1510 ,I know its not,I turn it off then on again and its OK, cannot see one of these to fit mine !!!!!

 

I refill my own ink cartridges, by hand but it's a bit messy but after a few times it's esey and cheaper

 

YIKES! Is that for real, Carl?

 

Yep

 

got a link for the site, pweease?

 

Oh sorry

Here's the link to the one above:

and here's a video of them fitting it and in action on the same model as my printer:

 

Carl that looks good but like Shiney, and not doing a huge amount of printing, I would rather buy cheap cartridges for my Lexmark. £1.33 each sounds just about my price

Shiney where do you get your Epson cartridges? My son is always saying how
expensive they are for his Epson, don't know what model he has, but I am sure he
would like to try some cheap ones.

Shiney
Haven't bought any of these super cheap cartridges yet but I will do as soon as I need more ink but I offered to buy some for my grand-daughter. She however politely declined saying that although she had never tried any she was told that cheap ink cartridges clogged the printers. Have you ever found this happening with any of the inks you have bought? I ask although I am sure you wouldn't use them if there was a problem.

That sounds like the usual spiel you get from shops which only sell original inks at £40 a set I've never found that compatible ink cartridges clogged up the print heads and if it does you just run a cleaning cycle from the computer the amount of times I've brought a printer back from the rubbish bins where I live and connected it up and run a head alignment or a cleaning cycle only to have it print perfectly is mind boggling

 

Thanks Aesculus and Shiney - just what I thought and it was probably the salesman who told grand-daughter that. She does design work which means quite a bit of printing which means quite a bit of ink required. I thought cheap cartridges would save her money.

 

If she does design work try and get her to see sense! the CISS system I linked to above also does pigment inks so her print quality would dramatically improve as well it would also last longer and not fade in the way that normal ink does
