Where can I find good quality Compatible Ink Cartridges for my Epson Expression XP Printer?

The Epson Expression range of printers is proving very popular with customers and is very affordable at a cost of around Euro 80 for the all-in-one printer. The down side we are hearing is the price of the Epson XP printer ink cartridges. Most people would not check out the price of the ink before buying the printer and fall into the trap of buying the cheapest printer only to be caught out when they come to replace the cartridges. The Epson Expression range of printers uses the T1811XL cartridges, the codes for each colours as follows: Black T1811XL, Cyan T1812XL, Magenta T1813XL, Yellow T1814XL.

These printers will work comfortably with the compatible version of the printers and for this reason alone this range of printers becomes exceptionally good value. These cartridges are easily obtained online from the various ink suppliers in Ireland and are perfect for the home or office user.

Some people will ask what's the difference between compatible and refilled or remanufactured ink, The simple answer is that although the technology of every printer is very complex, Epson, Canon and Brother manufacture a printer with a built-in print head, this means that when you are replacing the ink cartridge you are in fact changing the ink tank. More often than not, printers nowadays use an individual ink tank for the each colour ink (this can be up to 10 different ink cartridges in some printers) this means that when one of the colours run out you simply replace the empty ink cartridge. This is the system that's employed in the Epson Expression printers. Lexmark, HP and Dell (it's a little known fact that printers are manufactured by Lexmark for Dell), use an ink cartridge that has the print head integrated into the cartridge.

Each time you change an ink cartridge you are in fact installing a new print head into the printer! These cartridges are usually a lot more expensive due to the complex technology that's in the make up of the cartridge. These ink cartridges are therefore worth re-cycling because the print heads can be used several times without loss of quality. Overall, the best value ink cartridges are the ink tank replacement type that the Epson Expression printer use as they are both inexpensive and reliable as compatible cartridges.

What Inkjet Printers use the Best Value Ink Cartridges in Dublin?

If you are looking to upgrade or replace the printer that has finally given you more trouble than it is worth, how do know which printer to choose to replace it? There are several deciding issues to be considered when you are choosing a new printer but the one of the major factors is how much are you going to be paying for your ink cartridges in Dublin. We have put together some information below on some of the favourites in the running for the best home printers with the pros and cons for buying them.

Epson Expression XP-312:

Available on line for about €65 this all in one budget printer from Epson scans, prints from email, is wireless and is Apple Airprint compatible. Importantly the ink cartridges in Dublin you require are Epson T1811XL and these are available both locally and online as compatibles and are very reasonably priced.

Pros: This printer has excellent features as outlined above and also has touch screen and a memory card slot. The print quality of this printer is excellent for home use or a small office. You can print normal documents without any problems but the real winner with this printer is the print quality of its photo prints. Images print well on ordinary paper but really excel when they are printed on photo glossy paper. The compatible printer ink in Dublin is readily available and so helps keep the running costs low.

Cons: If you do print a lot of black and white then you will find that the black ink can run out quite quickly. A more office-orientated printer would be preferential if you are printing a lot of general black and white content. The peed of this printer may prove to be a bit slow for some people but in all honesty it’s the most negative thing we can say about it.

Epson Workforce WF 2530WF:

This printer is designed for the small office or for those that print a lot at home. Uses Epson T1631 ink cartridges. The compatible printer ink for this model have been found to be very affordable with savings of up to 50% and there are no reports of any issues while using compatibles.

Pros: Wireless all-in-one printer, copies, scans and has an automatic document feeder (essential for a busy home office) Apple and Airprint compatible. Great image quality printouts. Accepts affordable compatible ink cartridges.

Cons: It doesn’t print double sided (duplex printing) so it’s limiting as to how fast it will print long print runs. For a home printer it is a little on the large size.
