What's the difference between your link to the private store, and the regular Abacus store at http://www.abacus24-7.com/Epson-Stylus-Photo-R320.htm
The price is considerably cheaper at the private store, so is there a difference at all or just a cheaper affiliate vendor using their store site?

Try www.tylermartin.com for epson compatible ink. Their Necotron and USA lines of ink have worked well for me.

I second the Abacus ink. That's all I've used, after original ink.

I just ordered 3 more sets of ink cartridges from private abacus. $55, Not too shabby.
I just picked up some canon glossy photo paper and the case cover for Fantastic 4 turned out super. Extremely high quality print with the abacus ink! It looked better than the original cover!
BTW: Anybody wanting an epson R-320, Staples have them for $129 after rebate this week.

I use an Epson R220 and I've just bought a piece of kit called a Continuous Ink Supply System.It's absolutely brilliant.It consists of six black cartridges linked to six ink tanks ( about 120mm high x 60 mm wide x 30 mm deep ) by transparent tubes. Using compatable inks the cost saving is immense. It cost me £75 ( Approx US $129 ) I was a bit fearful of installing it, but it's really easy and worked o/k straight out of the box- no problemo! Highly Reccommended. Get it and refills from

I buy all of mines there, cheap, I get both black and color for my Epson 1000 ICS for $12 shipped. So cheap right? That's why I love my printer and printpal. Look over there.

If anyone has a staples and doesn't re-fill their cartridges,then take those empties over to staples. They'll give you $3 voucher per cartridge. The drawback,they'll only take 1 of those vouchers per transaction!
6 cartridges at private.abacus: $19 or so.
6 staples vouchers: $18
That's almost free ink!
Living 2 mins away from my nearby staples makes it convenient to stop over for 1 item at a time and use those vouchers!
COLSKI: I've heard of that continuous ink system. Way too much ink for my needs.
How many pics a day you print?

Saugmon,
I don't do a lot of pics. Mostly I do Cd/Dvds and their covers , you would be surprised how much ink is used up doing these - The carts don't last long, 1-2 weeks tops.I got sucked off paying up to £50 for a set of 6 Epsons (only £20 for compats) so I decided to get the continuous supply system .The only real dodgy part with this is the positioning of the ink supply cables from the reservoirs to the carts. - very tricky , but with a bit of thought it can be done.
BTW. I'm in the UK , can't get Epsons refilled over here- only HP and Lexmarks.

Just read a piece in Computeractive magazine, where somone bought a printer (unknown make) from a large supermarket for £30 - US$51.50.
When the ink ran out they went back to same supermarket for new carts. and found they would have to pay £32- US$54.96 for a full set!
A member of the staff told them to just buy a new printer as they would get a full set of carts. and a new warranty!Bloody mad.
we are getting ripped off with ink prices.

That's the same with my last 2 printers: Lexmark z-25. About $30 for 2 ink cartridges and $25 to buy a new one. It was still a pc of crap printer. Regular paper had to be fed 1 at a time!
I took 2 of those lexmark cartridges over to staples for another $6 in vouchers! I still have a few more of them somewhere in my room.

Has anyone ever tried supermediastore epson ink? They're running a 25 percent off deal right now which is pretty good if you need to get some individual cartridges:
http://www.supermediastore.com/epson-r300.html?WT.mc_id=060106sup...
The full set is $18 with free shipping. Comes up a little less than abacus with the free shipping. However I do recommend abacus, their cartrides are great and I don't get the epson error box that saids they are not epson cartridges do I still want to continue.

Read the fine print, you have to buy 30 dollars or more of ink to get the free shipping, read the box right below where they say its free shipping

Verb"s are number 1
Anything else second rate

kenneth - I read the fine print. I needed extra magnenta and yellow. So I needed to buy 2 extra of each so it cost me $31.20 for 10 cartridges shipped. Which is pretty good at $3.12 a cartridge delivered. Got them in 4 days. Haven't had a chance to use them as I am waiting for my current supply to run out. I will let everyone know how good they are after I use them.
