Computer stuff
Jan. 21st, 2005 05:09 pmThe black ink on my printer has nearly run out, my printer keeps telling me. Print quality looks okay to me, at least for text and notation, and I can generally print stuff out on computers at uni if I'm desperate (but not if everyone else is also desperate!), but I guess I should start thinking about replacing ink.
I know that Tesco sells inkjet cartridge refill kits for not huge amounts of money. Is this worth messing about with, given that they're around a fiver and the new cartridges are likely to be closer to twenny quid? I'm inclined to say yes, but haven't actually done anything with this level of fiddliness before now. Any volunteers to help me out with it first time round? Also, once I have the refill kit which is basically a syringe and ink, can I do this without having to buy ink from Tesco again? Is it possible to just buy ink? I know my father used to replace his black cartridges with brown ink, very posh, for business stuff, and he had a syringe and a jar of ink to do this.
When I Grow Up I'll just get a laser printer but for the amount of printing I do now it really isn't worth it, the handly little two-in-one printer and scanner I have suits my needs quite well.
