Tesco refill kits-How good?
If refilling it 'may' be advisable to stay clear of 'universal' inks,
the inks same ink that can be used in Epson & Canon printers say, from my learnings its better to use formulated inks. Epson is a cold ink whilst Canon has to boil it hence inkjet and bubble jet, meaning to say my way of thinking 'may' have to be a different formulation. Just my learnings only Davy. |

sence inkjet and bubble jet, meaning to say my way of thinking 'may' have to be a different formulation. Just my learnings only Agreed.... not only this but the canon ink seems more viscious than the epson r200 dye ink... even when looking at formulated aftermarket ink for the same printer. There is some universal ink in the states at costco called IMS that while it works so so for canons... it's by no means perfect. Tesco might be Jettec.... I can't say for sure but i've seen it referenced as such in this group. |

THOU WILST STAY CLEAR OF ALL AFTERMARKET UNBRANDED INKS. IF YOUR PRINTLOAD IS HIGH AND YOU CAN FIND (LOOK REAL HARD) BRANDED PREFILLED CARTS THEN THAT MAY BE MORE ECONOMICAL AND YOU SHOULD ROLL THE DICE. FOR IF YOU GET MORE THAN THE BREAK EVEN NUMBER OF CHANGES BEFORE THE CLOGS RUIN THE PRINTHEAD THEN JUST GET ANOTEHR PRINTER.

Has anyone experience of using the Tesco refill kits? Blair Found something on the Net called the "Tesco Value Inkjet Refill Kit". From the poster's review it appears to be a universal-type refill ink - an ink formulated to work in most printers, most models. This is NOT a good compromise. Whether this strange ink concoction will work satis- factorily in your printer, I don't know. There will always be certain risks, including poor print quality, using ink of this type. Experienced users in this group prefer refill inks specifically MADE for our cartridge types. In plain English: ink that is formulated for only one brand of printer and only certain models within that brand. Spend a little more and get a "real" kit ;-) . . . -Taliesyn |

THE RISKS ARE TRUE We all agree, refilling with universal ink would be as stupid as taking advice from a troll. Stay away from both. DUMB QUESTIONS RETURN DUMB ANSWERS. BUT MAYBE THE STUFF IS GOOD FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PRINT. HAPPY CLOGGING. I GUESS IT IS TURKEY DAY. CAN U SAY GOBBLE GOBBLE |

There is no such thing as a dumb questions... only dumb answers... from people who have no experence. But according to you refilling is perfectly safe for heavy users... only light users risk clogs... which is in part true as we all know inkjets will dry out if left off and unused. I'm not going to say Tesco's kit is anygood as I don't know anything about it... only those universal kits while often being the lest spendy per ml are often work somewhat OK in one printer and **** poor in others. In the UK there are require a few off the shelf solutions as well as refill inks from the likes of OCP and Lyson or imports like Image Specalists or Formulabs. While I have no direct experence with OCP or Lyson your far far far more likely to find others with experence with those brands and make a valued judgement based on others *experence*. |

If its a Tesco 'Value' range I'd say avoid it. El cheapo hot chocolate is fine, or the cheap bread for toasting purposes, but I wouldn't trust the stuff in a printer, unless I was about to throw it out and there was nothing to lose. -- Timothy |
