I'm interested to know where you all get your printer cartridges from and how much you pay for them.

I have a HP all-in-one printer and am looking for a cheap source for some more cartridges.

I have also seen the refillable type in various stores. Are they good to use, or would you all recommend only original HP ones?
 
I buy original canon ones for mine, as I've had mixed luck with compatibles. If you print high volumes, I think they are well worth getting. I don't print too much so I get the original ones from ebay (works out really cheaply on some auctions).
 
I get mine from Here, never had a problem.

Also, my wife will refill some using JR ink ... she orders that off QVC ... there are six re-filled cartridges sitting on the shelf right now.

Just a quick update.
I have been looking round the stores for cartridges today, as i couldnt wait for the delivery of an online order.
The cartridge i had to get was a Black HP '56' cart.
PC-World - Original HP 56 £19.99
Staples - Original HP 56 £15.99
Staples - Remanufactured H-8 (HP56 compatible) £11.99

I ended up getting the staples remanufactured one as i will mostly be printing assignments and notes, I do not generally print a lot of high quality stuff so i was assured this would be fine, but if i were to print higher quality (ie photos) they'd recommen. only originals.

Sorted.

I use the '56' HP Cartridge as well, for my photosmart 7960. As it's new, I haven't had to buy a refill yet, although it's half used already, only 2 or 3 weeks from purchase. But I do do a fair bit of printing for work.

I noted a replacement was twenty quid in PC World, looks like I'll be heading to Staples now :)

I've also bought a cartridge from the place Mucks recommended, an HP tri-colour, that was fine.

Mucks also recommended another site to me that seemed good, I think this was the place.

Whats the quality like with the refilled ones, is there a noticeable difference?

I 'see' no difference at all ... ;)
 
I bought a new printer last year and I do so much printing I am still using the same cartridge that came with the Cannon Printer:nod::lol:

I tried replacement cartridges with an Epson printer we had. They ruined the print head to the point that I had to buy a new printer. I now stick to originals.
