I've never really had any problems with oem inks, last ones I was using were inkrite and another brand I tried were phoenix.
Both on an old epson C44 for a good coupla years really, only gave up the ghost due to epson deciding my printer had reached the end of its "service" life which really ****** me off to no end. I was looking at a couple fo the recent printers in high street sales at half price (well have what they say is RRP
) but the inks are hit or miss on the epsons stating you need printers made before x date in order to use them or you may have trouble. Im not willing to buy a printer to test wether oems are compatible.
As the only thing the printer will be used for is letters Im really thinking of grabbing a cheapy laser printer but again need to work out how economical this is, need a decent laser where the toners are relatively cheap too. I hear the samsungs and brother series are quite decent. not really wanting to spend 100+ though.
