Printer / Ink Cartridges

Does everyone buy the cartridges at a local store or do most of you guys buy online? If so, What is a good / reputable web site to buy from??

I buy generic cartridges for my Epson from a place that’s about 50-miles from me.
Reading, PA.
I hooked up with them at a local computer show and have been buying from them ever since.

Are they just refill kits? I've always been very weary of those kits..

Printing Supplies are just below MSRP there, which is decent for a low margin item.

No, they’re generic cartridges that are vacuum packed.
I’ve done the refill thing in the past and it’s not worth the hassle/mess.

Last time I paid something like 4-bucks for BLACK cartridges and 9-Bucks for 5-COLOR.
The more you buy, the cheaper they are.

I never noticed a difference, but I wasn’t doing high quality work either.
My printer was never that good for photo printing even with the overpriced OEM cartridges.

I got a dedicated 4x6 printer now. (Dell)
