ink help needed

need to buy some black ink for lexmark x1180 and wondered if anyone has got a reliable and cheap recommendation for me.

thanks

Choice Stationery are brilliant-all prices include P&P & they always have loads of offers on & they guarantee their replacement cartridges

I agree as I use those and they are very good value.

I would also say when you next need a printer don't buy a Lexmark, I had one and found the ink so expensive, if I wanted the proper brand name cartridges they were more than the printer itself!

I now stick with Canon.

have you tried refill kits...i did last time for the first time and its REALLY easy...

i got a kit for a fiver of ebay and it will last months and months!

I tried that before, but tbh you can only do it a couple of times to each cartridge and it's very messy, and believe it or not my ink cartridges still worked out cheaper buying them from that company than refilling!

really?

ive only done it the once so far and have loads left but the one i have the inks are in prefilled little squeezy bottles so there was very little mess....but i have HP cartridges so it may be simpler on mine...

i dont know, i shall see in time!

Maybe yours are different. Ours had a syringe and you filled it up and injected the cartridge, problem being you couldn't use the same hole more than once and then three holes and the cartridge dried up too quick and ran out.

ah on mine i peel the label back and directly under the hole is the sponge that holds the ink...squeeze in and the sponge fills up...put label back and ta da....filled cartridge!

I've got a Brother Printer & IMHO any printer that has separate coloured Ink cartridges is better than Lexmark, quite agree that the Lexmark inks cost more than the actual printers do !

thanks for the help - the reason we got a lexmark cos it is a scanner and copier all in one. i wont be trying to refill the cartridges though as i have tried this in the past and then spent ages cleaning the mess.
