Any opinions are welcome

All the above are excellent, but i am biased to Epson - I have been using these for years and trouble free. The carts are very easy to get hold of, and if you go to EBAY to get recon carts with V-5 chips installed you are on to a winner. I recently purchased 4 of each colour with 3 black carts {15 carts in total } all having twice the amount of ink in them as the originals AND they have the V-5 chip which tells the printer the exact levels in the tanks - and NO " Cartridges not recognised " errors with them - at a cost of £9.99 including P&P. Now that's a bargain :D

You can not go wrong with either of these brands.

I used Canon until I switched to Brother..........

I wanted an 11 x 17 printer and brother they had one :D
