Hello, Miss Sylvia:) I can't believe how the price of scanners etc. have come down over the last few years. We paid such a lot for one about 4 years ago and we've just replaced it at around your 75 pounds. It does all the same things.

No, i don't need a new one i just thought the prices looked good, but if the ink is so expensive then maybe their not such a good bargain

hello girls :-)

like they have said - whether it's good value really depends on what you're using it for ...

someone saw one in a charity shop window for £6 yesterday :-)

I buy compatible ink cartridges for my Lexmark, they work out cheaper, especially if you buy them online, the more you buy the cheaper they are. I usually get four at a time of the black ones. And they last quite a while compared to my old canon, where the cartridges were a similar price but didn't last as long.

I'm thrilled to bits with my Lexmark scanner/printer/copier, worth every penny.

My lexmark scanner allows you to top up the cartridges which works out loads cheaper. It can be a bit messy but as long as ya careful its fine.

I dunno what model mine is I cant see the thing for paperwork lol

Mine's a lexmark and the cartridges are priced by the devil. Jax, can I fill my cartridges up?:)

I use a Lexmark 6200 all in one and buy my cartidges through Viking. If you open an account NEVER pay the brochure price cos they always discount. The high yield cartidges last for ages.

Uggers, I have refilled cartidges before and it's cheap but I only did this on an HP printer which drank INK!!!!!!!!!!!

My scanner/printer thingy is HP and is an Inkaholic!! Nor will it let me use substitutes... tells me off and won't come out to play!!

I am thinking of sending it to that IT place in the sky, where all scanners and printers have as much ink as they like, and no discrimination over what is scanned or printed!!

Love

David if your cartridges have a little hole in the top you can refill them. You can buy the refil kits in most places, they come with 4 bottles of ink and a syringe thing to inject the colour into the cartridge.

I think a lot of cartridges these days are "CHIPED" and will not allow you to refill.
