I have an Epson 2100 and in the course of printing approx 75 A3 prints I've
got through 20 ink cartridges. That's about £200 making about £2.66 per A3
print. This is more than I want to pay so I've been looking at CIS systems.
I've always steered clear in the past as a lot of people seem to have
problems with these but I do have to reduce my costs somehow. I do want to
maintain quality though so I've looked at Lyson and Permajet systems but
they are so expensive - about £300 including ink! Didn't really want to
spend that much if I can help it. It now looks like I might also be
acquiring an Epson 1290s. I wouldn't expect the results from this printer to
be quite as good as the 2100 but they might well be acceptable. I know I can
buy an unbranded CIS for this for about £80 including dye based ink. Just
not sure which way to go. Would I be wasting my money on a cheap CIS for the
1290? How about a cheap CIS for the 2100? - you see them on Ebay for under
£30. Or should I stick with a Lyson or Permajet system? Or how about
refillable cartridges as opposed to a CIS. Not sure what the pros and cons
are. Anyone care to comment?
Thanks
