I went to Abacus to order some ink for my Epson R200 and was disappointed to see that they are now charging $5.05 per cartridge on my R200 printer. The heck with them...went to Super Media Store and got 24 catridges (4-black, 4-cyan, 4 magenta, 4- light cyan, 4-yellow, 4-light magenta) for $55.00 shipped (FREE shipping) too!
With Epson charging $12.99 for color and $17.99 for black ink, I won't pay high prices on this stuff. Still have to send in my Class Action lawsuit papers against Epson. As part of their settlement, you can get like $40 worth of items on their online store. Whoohoo...that's enough for 2 black cartridges! I hate all companies whose sole purpose is to screw over their consumers!
i too purchased the ink from supermediastore last week (as i have used them before in the past w/ good results), they are comparable IN MY OPINION to those offered/sold by abacus (G&G)~ :)
but after the DRAMATIC price increase, abacus will no longer get any more business from me; they're a great company to deal with don't get me wrong, but their prices are not competitive enough for me to retain a return customer like myself...

Oh man! I didn't realize they had gone up so high on the ink. Almost $11 for the set. The last I got, was still the old price, a month or two ago.
I just sent them an email, letting them know why I wouldn't be ordering any more ink from them. I also let them know that word was going around at an online forum about their high price, and how they were losing a lot of customers over it. Y'all should send them an email too, to show them that it's not just me.
I guess I'll start using Supermediastore.com now.
Everybody keeps trying to get every penny we have! :o(
Check out printonadime.com I've printed over three hundred covers and discs and still have ink left, only $45 to refill all six colors. This system is the best
JVC- On The diving front slow but picking up but to be fair have'nt went as much since gas prices have become so high !I believe Ezinkjets.com is running a sale right now with 45% off & free shipping FyI & all that!
@BIGTOXY69..........
$39.84 is their price for the ink for my printer. Even with 45% off, it's not a cheap as supermediastore.com. There is an extra black cartridge with it, but also with SMS's. I really need the yellow as an extra cartridge, instead of the black. Usually, the black is the last one to run out, yellow being the first.
I thank you anyway. :o)
JVC- no sweat O ' Pontificating Potentate of the Plastic DVD case & By all means shop SMS if they have a better deal would do the same thing myself ! Good Luck & Happy Inking!
