First:

My tested and compared recommendation to most people for most applications for any brand printer:

INKGRABBER G&G

This is the ink I USE, have used for years, and that I've tested to be superior to any of the dozens of available second and third party alternative inks. All inexpensive inks ARE NOT ALIKE- most others give inferior color. This includes off the shelf retail alternative cheap ink sold in places like Office Depot, Staples, etc- which is not good at all.

          It is generally  75% less expensive than the cost of regular ink refills, with as good or better color than OEM.
