If you enter BOTH a printer and a cartridge, the program will search by printer only. For best accuracy, enter as few letters as possible. To find cartridges for the Epson R300M, click the radio button for Epson and just enter 300 for the printer. To find cartridges for the Canon BJC-30V, click the radio button for Canon and enter 30 for the printer. To find S020193 cartridges, just enter 193. If you enter a cartridge number, the program will ignore the choice of Epson and Canon and show all cartridges that have a partial match to the number.

Epson's and Canon's dirty little secret...

Epson, Canon (and others) practically give away their printers because they make money on the cartridges. These little plastic containers filled with 50 cents of ink sell for $20 to $40. In an effort to keep the stranglehold on this windfall, they imply in the manual that there is some secret to these cartridges that other companies don't know and using another brand will ruin your printer. They top it off by putting in the warranty "warranty void if other brand cartridges are used." There is no secret to these cartridges. Chemists have determined the ink formula and duplicated it. For over three years I have been using and selling compatible cartridges. They work just as well as the name brand and seem to last even longer since the clone brands are more generous with the amount of ink they give you. In the very rare event that your Epson printer fails, Epson ships an immediate replacement and tells you to use the box it came in to ship your printer back. So even if you are using clone cartridges, by the time Epson discovers this, you will already have your replacement printer.

One of my customers had to take her Canon printer to an authorized service center. To her surprise, they replaced her empty Canon ink cartridges with a clone brand! If it's good enough for authorized Canon dealers, it's good enough for you!

I have had folks tell me, "I won't use some cartridge made in China." Guess what? Epson cartridges are also made in China. Possibly in the very same factory.

So don't worry about their scare tactics. Save over 75% by using clone cartridges. Our cartridges are guaranteed. Our cartridge warranty

Here's an excerpt from a Computer Shopper article on cartridges:

Although companies can't legally void your warranty simply for using third-party toner or ink, most manufacturers warn that print quality and printer reliability may suffer, and most reserve the right not to cover the cost of repairing a printer damaged through the use of third-party cartridges. Printer manufacturers may exaggerate the risks of using such cartridges, but at least in some cases, their concerns seem justified. That said, plenty of people have long used third-party toners and inks without any problems.

If your printer uses several different colors, you will see a comment following the cartridge, such as (3 colors needed). To save you the trouble of clicking several different add-to-cart buttons, we created "package deals" where you can order black and color with one click and even get a discount. You can also click the color ink button once and change the quantity on your order. Unless you specify otherwise in the comment box on your order form, you will get an equal quantity of each color. If you order 3 color cartridges for the CX8400, you will get one of each. Order 6 and you will get two of each. If you want specific quantities of specific colors, let us know in the comment box or e-mail.

Shipping is a maximum of $7 for order under $25 ($5 if not paid by credit card) and FREE for orders of $25 and up. You will receive an e-mail with the exact total and we will wait for your confirmation. Just reply to the email to confirm. We ship mostly USPS priority to all U.S. territories (including Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, APO, FPO) and we ship to Canada.

These are NOT refills (which we do not recommend because they can leak and damage the printer. For information on the dangers of refill Click here) These are BRAND NEW compatible cartridges. Our cartridges are guaranteed. Our cartridge warranty

Bonuses: We offer additional quantity discounts and discounts for repeat orders or for payment not done by credit card, such as check, money order, or Paypal using your balance or bank account. We often waive the shipping and handling fees and add extra cartridges to large or repeat orders. We also offer a free CD of 500 megs of free software, including a PRINTER UTILITY for Epson which replaces the one provided by the company. It shows you how much ink is in the cartridge with much more accuracy. It lets you reset the level (Epson printers may report empty cartridges when there is still 15% of the ink left). It lets you clean the black and color independently.

Important note about the recent Epson ruling and what it means:

Epson recently won a ruling allowing it to produce printers which refuse to work with compatible cartridges. This gives Epson a near-monopoly on ink for these printers. As a result, new Epson printers manufactured on or after March 2007 may not work with many of the compatible cartridges advertised on other sites. This does not affect older printers. For example, T069 cartridges fit the CX5000, CX6000, CX7000F, CX7400, CX7450, CX8400, CX9400Fax, and C120. However, most compatible cartridges will not work with the later printers (CX7400, CX7450, CX8400, CX9400 or C120). The reason is because the chips on the later printers were designed to reject compatible cartridges. Compatible ink manufacturers have to re-design their chips to work with the new printers, even though the cartridges are the same size and shape as before. Some cartridge sites are vague on this, either deliberately or through ignorance. They will advertise their T069 and then state "T069 cartridges work with the following printers:" and list the CX8400 and C120, without mentioning that their cartridges won't work with these.

A number of manufacturers have stopped making Epson compatible cartridges completely. We are already seeing higher prices on both genuine Epson cartridges and compatibles. Many sites which sold these have been out of stock for months.

Because Epson keeps changing their printers to foil the compatible manufacturers, the chips for these cartridges have to keep changing as well. What our manufacturer has done for the ever-changing T069 and T078 cartridges is to keep the chip separate from the cartridge. This way he can produce and ship thousands of cartridges, and if the chip has to change, he can update and ship the chip separately. In this way you can be assured you are getting the latest version and not something outdated. The cartridges come with a separate plastic module containing the chip. Before inserting the cartridge in the printer, clip this module on to the cartridge.

Our advice to consumers is:

1) if you are buying a new printer, try to find an older model with readily available cartridges. There are plenty of deals on solid older models such as CX5000 and CX6000, R200, 300, 500, 800 and C88.

2) If you already have one of the later models, make sure the cartridges you buy will work. Just because they are the same Epson part number as another model is no guarantee. We have come across many T069 cartridges which don't work with the CX7400, CX7450, CX8400, CX9400 and C120. The same applies to cartridges for R260, R280, R380, RX580, RX595 and RX680. Many of the compatible cartridges are just not recognized by these printers. However, we DO have compatible cartrides which DO work with these printers, so you can order here with full confidence and a full guarantee. If you find them elsewhere, make sure you are ordering the correct ones. They have "nu" in the item code. Also, make sure they are NOT refills, which can damage your printer.

3) Sealed ink cartridges have a shelf life of at least two years (and we have used cartriges as much as 4 years old without problem). If you find a good deal on cartridges, buy several. You may not be able to find them later. You will also get discount pricing and free shipping.
