I'm thinking of ordering ink and cartridges (going to build my own CIS).

I have a wholesale source from China, but there's a huge language barrier and although the prices are very low, there seems to be a $200 minimum order. Or at least the two quotes I've asked for, in both the shipping price was bumped up to make the total come to $200.

So I saw a link in an email here to http://www.9to6.co.uk and although naturally the prices are higher, I don't have the minimum order to contend with and native English speakers.

Anyone here used them? Anyone here ordered to North America?

I've used them for Epson C86 and D88 autoreset chips that seem to work ok..

There was some confusion at one point regarding pricing and I'll be honest I don't trust their website further than I could spit but they were happy to provide me with a quote and a paypal link so I sorted it that way.

Goods arrived quickly and with minimal fuss beyond that..

Oh and I'm based in the UK if that wasn't already obvious..

Have you investigated http://printonadime.com/. Lots of useful stuff at good prices and located in U.S. as well.

Emery Nelson runs the business, and he is a most helpful and pleasant character. He stocks refillable carts with 10% to 90% autoreset chips on board for 6US$ each. I bought a set for my new R220, and they seem fine both as refillables and for conversion to CISS. You could do a lot worse!!

$7 a cart, but I shouldn't nit pick over a dollar. Hey, $55 for an entire empty CIS!

Thanks!

Sigh... too bad my wholesale source has such a high minimum. I think it was $18 for an entire CIS.
