I get mine from them for a couple of HP printers we use and they are good quality ink. They do free postage and swap faulty goods by freepost without any problems, only needed that once though

They gotcha now......Lexmark have there factory up here in Scotland by the Port of Rosyth. When I was at the local college we got a tour of the plant and the offer of a minimum wage job. The man said Lexmark dont make printers theres no money in that side of the business. Instead we have them made under a brand license and retail just above cost.
They recon that the printer could last three years max and that a set of carts would last two months. ( A day in my house...... Graphic designer!) That adds up to a lot of money.
They must rub there hands every time a digi cam is sold in Dixons and the punter is given a Lexmark for cheap.
I have the other way of printer purchase.... First find the best value no name brands and purchase a printer to suit. We have got the price down to three quid per set and the wife has a cannon 320i with a HP 940c for back up. Hp has generic cartridges and I struggled to see the differance.

So there is really no free lunch.

Unless after I've used my cartridges up I'm gonna throw it away. Oh and the jr inject refills work fine as long as you do it as soon as the cartridge says its low on ink.

Btw you dont need dell cartridges they are lexmark 10n0016 or 17 and 10n0026 or 27

But the printers do not come with full cartridges, thaey have "starter cartridges" installed About half full I think.

I've got an old Lexmark, good printer I liked it, but cartridges are a fortune compared to others....

Heard somewhere that ink in cartriges is more expensive than champers, Rusty

dont ever use your home printer for digi cam pics

its way expensive

try truprint on line

you can upload prints, and they come back in 2 days.

the quality is more than superb - much better than home.

printing yourself needs expensive paper, and expensive cartridges, and takes yonks.

I just got 90 6 x 4 prints for just over 12 quid.

that would more than shag a lexmark cartridge.

the carts that come with printers are only 'get you going' minimal fill ones....
