UK ink suppliers

[fx3_hdrive]

Hello

Im new to the forum and it looks like a great place on everything about inkjets.

I was wondering, what suppliers people use for their inky needs? whether you prefer compatible inks to refill kits, is it really worth the mess?

I see from your email address you are connected with Ink4u, who do replacement cartridges.
I think most here refill - it's not really a messy job.

not only connected, i work there

im just curious because we sell replacement cartridges without chips and they are really cheap, how cheaper is refilling?
its not messy if you are careful, but theres always that risk.

....how cheaper is refilling?......

I got 12oz of ink plus 5 spare carts for a Canon IP4000 from Hobbicolors delivered from the States for less tha 20 quid.

OCP are probably the best inks around. You can by it in the UK from Promax Imaging

I have visited the site but there seems to be no mention of specific ink prices.

That's because the actual quantity tends to dictate the price.. I've had some ink from them in the past to do some testing against another ink and they're pretty reasonable.

Personally I ship my ink in from Holland (Image Specialists reseller) but then I tend to buy in minimums of a litre and usually more like 2 litres per colour I need.
