So about 6 months ago I purchased an Epson xp640 with the capability to print on discs and I couldn’t be happier. The discs come out really nice. I have printed about 6 discs with no issues. However I am coming to the end of the starter ink that came with the printer and I’m going to have to go out and buy some ink. I have read online that most printer companies are really just ink companies and that is why printers are so cheap now a days. I have been looking into purchasing refilled ink cartradges or remanufactured cartradges, but some of the research I have done has said that doing this could actually damage your printer beyond repair. Though other sites I have been on have claimed that using refills or remanufactured inks are completely safe and it is a ploy of the printer makers to scare people from buying third party inks. So my question is if any of you have bought third party inks and what the results were. Did it cause problems for your printer? Do you recommend buying third party inks? Do they hold up to OEM? Who do you use if you do buy third party? I just don’t want to mess up my printer. But I also don’t want to spend almost half the cost of the printer just for ink.
