The Epson R220 is a nifty (and cheap) photo inkjet but it takes six inks and costs a fortune to feed (over £70 if you buy inks singly, £50 if you buy a six-pack). We’ve tried remanufactured cartridges before but they were rubbish. Now, I notice, you can buy 100% compatible own-brand cartridges at Asda and they cost half the price (£25 for a six-pack) and, so far, they seem to be at least as good as the real thing. Blimey.
In which I try, after 25 years of blogging, to drop my ironic stance a bit.
