I can't resist a bargain.

But it's a re-branded Lexmark so I'm sure we won't have trouble finding cheap replacement cartridges.
And it's only a tenner.
timco said:The slip in your argument wozza is that its a lexmark, lexmark do not do cheap carts and no-one does cheap carts for them.
The printer is a bargain as it comes with the usb cable and some ink in the carts.
But under no cercs should anyone consider replacing the carts for them as their are printers out there that cost less than one leexmark cart (even the normal price for this printer)
The Great Cornholio said:Ideal World TV have some company on that sell their own brand cartridges for Lexmarks - about half the price if I remember rightly - something like £25 for 1 black and 1 colour.

Dell printer for £10. Are you happy?
Just received my printer which i ordeered last week for £9.99. Very disappointed to see that the cartridges included with this priter are tiny(labelled as trial pack) very disappointed as I only bought this printer for the ink purpose, so I dont have to buy cartridges for few months but I think Dell are clever than us. they wanted us to buy more of their own cartridges. when ordered It did not say that the cartridges included are only trial pack. Do you think it is worth complaining to their customer services to this rip off

timco said:Its the same with most if not all printers these days Bozza, like many other things the money is not made in selling the product, which is often done at a loss, but in the continued maintenance of the item. In this case ink carts, its the reason I never bought one and everyone knows if its cheap I buy in bulk (Like the twin set DECT phones from Argos for less than £14 a pair) bought 6 of those so far but don't own a single one as all of them have been sold on.
Bozza said:Thanks for the lesson Tim. I am fully aware which is why I didn't buy one, but was passing on someone else's comments...
