Hi, I wonder if any one who has an Epson Stylus C82 has ever bought the compatable ink cartridge for them and used it successfully? I have only ever bought one and found it didn't fit. I end up buying the Epsom ink which is very expensive and was actually in the paper that it was more expensive than Channel and rocket fuel. I don't want to buy another and waste my money if they don't fit. Can any one help me save some money? Thanks Barbara.

Hi Barbara, Choice Stationary. When I had an Epsom I got them from there and it worked out a lot cheaper. Diane

Barbara Google "The Ink Factory", and see if there is a Jet Tec compatible for your cartridges, if there is it will be a bogof. I have an Epson CX3200 the colour is 27.95 and the black is 24.95, but I got 4 colour and 4 black for 46 pds using Jet Tec cartridges. Have to say they are not that brill for photo's (I do slip the Epson Cart in for that) but printing non photo stuff they are quite good, but I prefer the price the amount of printing I do!!! Kim

Barbara I've just sent you an email with details of a company online who are offering a free cartridge (just pay 1.95 p&p). If anyone else wants the address just email me and ask. (I don't have any connection to the company - just used the offer myself). Joanne

Office World do a lot of compatible cartridges. I don't have that printer but I had compatible cartridges for another printer no problem. Kxx

Hi Barbara, I get all my inks from `Mouse2house`. Never been let down yet,and very reasonable. I have only ever used Epson printers,and find the compatables are excellent. Baz

I have Epsom stylus photo R200 and I get my inks from www(.)ink-spot(.)co(.)uk I have just sent away for an order they do not charge for delivery 5 black inks for my printer are £20 and 6 coloured inks with a black one in is on special at the moment and that costs £16.99 very good inks and they last a long while worth trying.
