Ink Cartridges in Cork Costing More than Chanel no.5 ?

Who would have thought that buying an ink cartridge in Cork could work out being more expensive than buying a bottle of Chanel no. 5 for your significant other? This of course is true according to a recent survey carried out in the UK comparing the cost of original brand ink from manufacturers such as Canon, Epson, Hewlett Packard and Brother to the cost of buying Chanel no. 5 perfume. The UK BBC programme ‘Watchdog’ undertook to check out the actual cost of buying 1 litre of printer ink against that of the well-known perfume. This is also the case when the survey compared the printer ink cost per litre against other luxury items such as champagne and port.

It is estimated that the cost of the original brand ink cartridges in Cork is somewhere around 55cents for 4ml of ink and when priced pro rata it works out at over 3000 euro per litre. This is widely accepted within the UK and Ireland as a rip off and further encouraging people to use compatible ink as a more affordable way to run a family printer for a year. There is also a question over the capacity of the original ink with the introduction of ‘XL’ or extra large ink cartridges by the original brand suppliers. It appears that these cartridges are in fact the same physical size as the standard cartridge but are filled to a maximum capacity and classed as ‘XL’. This revelation to those people buying standard or XL will surely come as a shock and create a revolt against the suppliers. This has been nothing more than a way for these suppliers to add another product to the market and make more money.

The answer to this survey for all people buying ink cartridges in Cork is to turn to compatible ink and toner, with savings of up to 70% on inkjet cartridges and 50% on laser toner it’s the way forward in the light of these revelations. You will never receive the great deals with original brand that you would if you were buying the compatible cartridge. The manufacturers of replacement cartridges follow stringent ISO standards and this ensures you will receive a reliable good quality experience when buying your compatible ink in Cork. Mind you the other way to look at it, on a slightly funnier side, is to buy your significant other a full set of ink cartridges this year instead of perfume and put forward your case that they are worth more than his or her favourite fragrance.

The 5 Minutes Guide to Ordering Ink Cartridges in Cork

Running low on ink and need to get your ink cartridges in Cork fast? You have two options, first of all you can jump in the car make your way through the traffic into the city centre to find a shop that stocks your ink and pay full price for an original brand ink cartridge (in fairness some of them may sell the compatible version of your cartridges but it’s as well to phone ahead first). Or you can be a bit more savvy and go online and shop smartly for an Irish online supplier that will supply ink cartridges with next day delivery. How do you find an Irish supplier who will supply next day?

When you enter the search phrase ‘ink cartridges in Cork’ the first page in Google will put you in touch with all the local suppliers of ink and toner as well as those online suppliers who are not actually based in Cork but may well be able to supply you by next day delivery.

Assuming this has taken you about 30 seconds to get these results it’s worth spending the remainder of your 5 minutes going quickly through page one of the search results and look for a supplier who provides next day delivery at a low cost. This will generally only be a courier delivery service as there is no guarantee with postal deliveries that they can deliver ink cartridges next day as a standard delivery.

Things to consider when you are ordering ink cartridges online in a hurry:

1. Does the supplier offer a money back guarantee on any purchase made? Is there a helpline for anyone with having issues with their ink cartridges?
2. Does their facebook page give any feedback from existing customers? Don’t forget, they can’t make up the testimonials on facebook as easily as they might on their own site.
3. Is their contact details highlighted so you can enquire if they actually have the stock before you place the order? Worth dropping them an email to see if they have you ink cartridge, how quickly they respond will be an indication of how in touch with their customers they are.


The deals to be found online within 5 minutes are too numerous to ignore but the real secret is fast filtering – weeding out those that say they can deliver ink cartridge next day and those that actually claim this but have no intention in doing so. Your original search enquiry in the Google browser should stipulate that you are actually looking for ink cartridges in Cork as opposed to the more general search terms, for example, ink cartridges or ink cartridges in Ireland.

5 Steps to Follow when Ink Cartridge is Not Recognized by Epson Printer

The warning ‘cartridge not recognised‘ message may appear on your screen sometimes when using Epson compatible ink cartridges. Usually this message is shown when non-OEM or compatible ink cartridges are used. The Epson T0711, T0712, T0713, T0714 ink cartridges can be prone to displaying this message but there are steps you can take to rectify this situation. However, if no matter how many times you try installing the cartridge and the ‘cartridge not recognised’ message still appears, or maybe a red cross appears, you can try some of the solutions outlined below.

Epson compatible printer cartridges

All Epson Printers will usually accept compatible and refillable cartridges, the only time there is an exception is when the printer has received a downloaded firmware update from Epson. First of all are you sure that the message is not just asking for your permission to use the installed ink cartridges? If it is, then this message will normally have a ‘continue’ box at the bottom of the message. It might sound obvious but it’s worth double-checking.

However, if your message clearly states that the cartridges is not recognised or is not compatible with the printer then please follow the steps below.

1. Remove the ink cartridges from your printer with the printer switched on. Follow the printer prompts as you go through the procedure for changing and ink cartridge.
2. Next, turn your printer off and leave for approximately one minute. This gives the printer a chance to clear the error it had and power down naturally. It might also be worth checking your printer is telling this to your computer and that the error on screen has cleared.
3. Now turn the printer back on and wait for it to warn you of the missing ink cartridges. Taking an extra minute or two now may save you having to return your ink cartridge to your supplier or buying a new one.
4. Re-fit the ink cartridges one at a time. Make sure that you follow any instructions closely or follow the procedures as described in your printer manual. If more than one cartridge has been rejected, it’s recommended installing them individually and making sure the ink cartridges are being recognised by your printer before installing the next cartridge. If any of the ink cartridges are rejected during the installation process, remove them straight away and replace with another one.

There are a many different causes of compatible Epson printer not being recognised, sometimes there are damaged chips – maybe the chip is not correctly aligned with a corresponding contact in the printer. Perseverance is the key to getting the compatible ink cartridges to work and up to now we have not lost a customer by selling compatible ink cartridges that will not work.

Ink Cartridges in Dublin More Expensive than Champagne

There has been a lot press coverage recently about the price of printer ink in Dublin being more expensive than buying a bottle of vintage champagne, vintage port or Chanel No 5. They are of course speaking about the original brand ink cartridges that are being sold by the printer manufacturers such as Epson, Brother, Canon and HP etc. It’s estimated that the cost of the printer ink the original manufacturers are selling is approximately 55cents for 4ml and this is being sold for close on €3000 per litre. Naturally enough in the UK it is being referred to as the ‘great printer ink rip off’. Will this make using compatible ink cartridges in Dublin the way forward? Original brand cartridges can cost a busy family running a printer in excess of €250 a year!

What most people don’t realise is that the original brand ink cartridges in Dublin that you buy have a higher capacity for filling with ink than is actually used. The evidence of this is with the so-called XL ink cartridges. These cartridges are the same physical size as the standard cartridge (after all, they have to fit into the same slot as the standard cartridge) but they have more ink in them. This has been a way for the printer ink manufacturers to put two products on the market and charge more for the cartridge with more ink.

It is really very clever marketing when you think about it, if you are buying your ink cartridges in Dublin, you may choose to buy the lower original brand but you will certainly be back for more in a very short space of time. Also, a recent report by ‘Which?’ magazine has uncovered another problem with some brands of ink cartridges. It seems that some brands of printer use up more ink than others due to ‘pointless’ cleaning cycles. Of course every time you use a cleaning cycle it uses up more ink. When some printers are switched on, they go through an automatic cleaning cycle and in turn this means that if you use your printer for long periods of time on a regular basis, you will in fact use less ink than someone who hardly uses their printer at all. If this doesn’t make people shopping for ink cartridges in Dublin switch to compatible ink I don’t know what will.

The savings on compatible ink cartridges in Dublin are up to 70% and going on the evidence above, this is a way to fight back against the overpriced original brand cartridges. With some compatibles there may be a problem with the microchip reading the volume levels of the cartridge but this can be overcome by various methods, most of which your supplier can reveal to you. Think on, save money by using compatible ink cartridges and order you vintage champagne or Chanel No 5 next time you are looking for ink cartridges in Dublin.
