Printer Cartridges
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 and am coming up for cartridge replacement time.
Doing a bit of searching and I get a lot of results for compatible cartridges. anyone had experience with these for this printer or similar. I am a little dubious as I have heard they can screw up print heads etc. I know they are half the price but I'm wondering if this is a situation where buying original is better and worth the extra price. Also can anyone recommend any decent sites online. Us sites aswell as UK if shipping charges aren't too bad.

 Now using a new Canon model, which is very good, but the cartridges are chip-coded, so third-party offers are not available anymore.If you don't order some dubious ink from a direct Chinese supply line I doubt you run any serious risk to "damage" your printer. Just use a decent third party-product, not just some dubious no-name stuff.

Third party ink cartridges can cause problems so it’s best to stick to the manufactures brand which we all know cost a bucket load of money. One thing I have done to make my ink cartridges last is to install inksaver 2.0 which allows me to control the amount of ink I use on each print job, which I has saved me money in the long term.

Check out www.carrotink.com I have a epson stylus 6400 and I have never had any problems with cartridges or the ink. Their prices are great too.
