Ahoy mates!

I saw advertised last night that Walgreens will refill black inkjet cartridges for $10 and color for $15 while you wait. That's better than the cost of a new one.

I buy Epson compatible cartridges from http://inkdaddy.com/. Black for $4.99 and individual color for $3.99.

I had seen the ad on TV. I wonder how long it will be before Wal_mart gets the same machine?

I've had that done at a kiosk at a local mall and it worked quite well. The only thing is that if your printer reads the cartridge, it will tell you it's empty.

As a caveat.... I know from personal experience that Epson printers do not like "brand X" inks.
