I need to buy toner for my Epson Workforce all-in-one printer for the first time and holy cow, it's expensive! Anyone have recommendations as to where to get a good price (in-store or online)? I know some of the cheaper options are "refurbished" cartridges and I've heard both good and bad things about the ink quality. Would love advice. Thanks!
I had a friend, who used to work at a Walgreen's, tell me that you might be able to take your cartridge in there and have it refilled for far less than buying a new one. I don't know first hand, as I have not tried it, but you might want to go into your local Walgreen's and see if they offer it there.
I have an Epson Workforce and I buy all my ink at Staples.
I use the black and color package that is a little more expensive and last longer. I use my priinter daily a LOT and I hardly ever have to replace the cartridges. My daughter does a lot of school projects in color, etc.
Yes, they are expensive.. no kidding there. I usually buy 2 sets at once and always have a spare on hand for the late night projects, just in case.
Sometimes Staples has a special deal. I do take my empty cartridges back and I get credit. I get a check from them about once every 2-3 months for up to $20.
I know there are some off brands out there as well as refill it yourself deals, but I am not willing to go that route. I run my company from home and use this printer a lot and I won't waiver on quality to save a few bucks.
I use enviroinks.com, they are refurbished & cost 1/3 to 1/2 half of the price. I have a hp printer & they fit great & work just as well if not better. They also have a program to return your ink cartridges to get a credit on a future order. I hope this helps.
You can get a good deal at BGs or Costco by buying in a pack. I tried an on-line source (inksuperstore.com I think). It cost half price, but lasted less than half of the brand name. I stick with brand names now.
buy.com and Amazon seem to have good prices.
http://www.goodgraphicsink.com/ - they are local to me, but they ship everywhere. Prices are very good, and service is excellent. They deliver to your door, and if there's a problem, they take care of it. Tell them Trish sent you :)
I can not speak for Epson but with my HP I buy the larger cartridges. They are about twice as much but hold 3x's as much ink. I found them cheapest on Amazon one day. When they get low I take them to a local grocery store and have them refilled.
Now one time I had Walgreens refill them and I think someone botched the color ink cartridge because the color just wasn't right so I've never went back there. Otherwise I've had success having them refilled.
