Printer Help needed ??
Dear Group,
I seem to have had a bad time with printers, rangeing from the Lexmark, Epson and now HP, becuase I used 'compatible inks' I couldn't claim on the warranties when they all broke, including my much loved Epson 1290 A3, which is apparently prone to breaking because of the head , I spent £140 haveing it repaired, and its now good for nothing, I ended up with an HPDeskjet 3845, which has given me no trouble thought the prints aren't great until I recently installed two generic cartridges from Choice Staionery, it started blinking and is now broken, Choice have said its the printer and that faults only show up when you replace the ink.. {???} I am now in a real dilemma, do I spend £30 on the right cartridges , only to find the printer is now completely broken[I have run every test and replaced the software etc.or wait to buy a really good A3 printer[probably forever !!] ] I really want a reliable good quality printer , I would love A3 if it isn't going to break within a year and also the price... any advice here are my pictures http://geaannunziata.deviantart.com/ thankyou for your help Gea Jones |

The secret is to top up before the cartridge starts to run dry. I get perfect prints, particularly on the photographic (high quality) setting, and my costs are minimal. The Lidl refills come in ready-to-use hypodermic needles topped with little plastic containers that you simply squeeze. No mess, no fuss, and dirt cheap. Dennis. |
