Printer inkt. In our shop people are still buying them for a way to high price…

Epson is running the market hard with their EcoTank printer. I've seen one litre bottles for less than €50.

If not, go for refurbished/refilled cartridges.

I still remember the fun of refilling old HP cartridges for a dime a dozen.

Those ink tank printers are their own kind of scam though, they clog if you dont use them frequently enough, and they use a non-replaceable dump pad when cleaning and purging that effectively bricks the printers when it is considred full, which is usually just a timer, not an actual sensor.

Dude stop selling us Epson ink, you are spamming your ad 3 times.

Ugh, I keep getting an error when posting a reply so I just repeat the send.

Thank you for the warning.

Also stop selling Epson ink, laser is superior!

Agreed! I miss my Samsung CLP. That was a real battle horse!

Yet, the talk was about printer ink and it is really hard to beat the price for that much ink, for those machines.

Fun fact: I don't even own one of those machines. I have a Canon. Still cheaper than HP cartridges but those assholes tie the entire machine operation to the cartridges.

Old HP LaserJets like 1000 series (XP/2000 era drivers) are absolute behemoths. Still have and use one since 10-15 years.
