I have a older Epson Photo Stylus 750 which still works great, but I am out of black ink. They don't even make brand new ink for it anymore. Thus I am forced to buy generic ink.

Does anyone recommend a good place to order Generic printer ink from? Normally they recycle ink cartridges with their generic ink inside. I remember I had bought 5 packs of generic ink for this printer YEARS ago and they worked great but no idea where I got them from now. I know some vendors use cheap ass crap ink while others use some decent ones. Any recommendations would be helpful!

As a printer technician I can tell you that generic ink and good never go together. I realize you don't have a choice in the matter if you want to use the printer you've got now but as cheap as these things are I'd just buy a new printer and leave it at that.

I can't really invest in a printer at the moment. I rather just get $12 ink and if my printer dies then get a new printer when absolutely needed.
 
Most personal use printer/photo printers are cheap. You pay more for ink than the printer after a few refills. I do use generic ink but it is mostly for image/text printing, not photos. I don't print much either. I'm usually always next to some short of computer system where I could plug my usb drive in for access to articles or any other data.

Here is a link to vendor I buy from on ebay:

Great price and its worth a try. Bought from them twice. I used this on my epson stylus r300. I got this free from work and I still don't want to use branded ink that I only bought maybe twice? My printer still works flawless and it does not create any kind of mess in the cartridge holder. I printed photo with the generic ink before as demos to show to some people and they look fine. I didn't compare them side by side however so I don't know. It might be true that generic ink might not last as long as branded. It doesn't bother me since the things I print get shredded or thrown away sooner or later.

I ended up ordering from swiftink. It has great reviews and some claim it is some of the best quality as far as generic ink goes. Also, has a great score on resellerratings.com.

Will post later on the quality of the ink.

Thanks!
