. If these don't work for you, you could always try the 35c or 50c drivers.

yes i think I'll do that one of the 3 drivers have to work, thanx Zepper

The company that Elroy posted appears to be the same as Tyler-Martin. After all, how many cartridge companies can exist in Marysville, KS???
. I use TylerMartin and the carts a fine for me. Cost me about $3. for a set of blk and color for my Canon i450.

Carts arrived today---3 day delivery, cant beat that---printed some safety signs that were OK, ill try some photos later on---total price was 16$ for my Epson Photo printer would have been $50+ anywhere local for OEM carts---photo carts are pretty important for true color, guess ill report back...

I refill my HP cartridges.

If you get ink on your fingers, use bleach. Stinks, but works great!

ok I'll order some ink refills friday (Payday) first from the site Dallas Don posted, because it's my machine exactly, for some of the other sites I'll try next time and see who's best, thanx everyone

i use epson printers , i have a 777 , 740 and a cx5200 3 in 1 . they all work great but the 740 is rather old and on its last leg . but i get my ink from www.monsterinkjets.com or www.megatoners.com both are about the cheapest you can find and work well . monsterinkjets is alittle slow on shipping , about 10days , so if you order from them make sure you order it BEFORE you need it .

as for printer i would say epson , cannon , brothers are the way to go . you can get some nice printers and you can get aftermarket carts that don't hurt when you order them .

Hey Omar you're still Da man, but both of your sites don't carry the ones I need

If you decide to go the new printer route, I recently purchased a Canon F60 multipass (reconditioned) From Fry's for $100 bucks.

It beats the pants off my wife's HP, has a large black cartridge $10, and three color carts, also about the same price.

The print, copy, and scan functions are one touch, really simple.
Only thing I haven't tried is photos.

[Omardeth]

well the cheapest i could find the blacks are 19.50 8R7881 BlK

the cheapest i found the color ones is 23$ but the are
" High Quality Remanufactured Xerox 8R12591 "

cheapest retail box i found was HERE 28$

cheapest refill bottles are HERE that i have found 2.95 each


found the color here at an
ebay store 30$ shipped .

get an epson cx5200 or a cx6400 ink is dirt cheap

I have a Lexmark Z52. I'm very satisfied with the print quality on photos and everything else, BUT, cartridges (2) are about $70. So as I was at Best Buy yesterday , there was a Canon Rep in the printer aisle. Showed me one of their printers , new model I guess I forget which one. Aaaanyway, the color cartridges are individual ones. Each color seperate. To replace all of them at once was still cheaper.Use a lot of red? Just pop in a new red one. It was pretty cool. i think that will be my next choice. Also you can remove a cartridge to see the ink level. Refillable? I dunno but looks like it . If you're in someplace that sells canons , check it out.
