    Tried both Epson and HP and here are my comments:

    Epson ink is cheap (relatively) but mabilis maubos; there are times also its hard to find stock of the ink.
    HP ink is more expensive but lasts longer (much longer).

    In the end, we stuck to HP printers.

    Kakabili ko lang ng EPSON printer, combine with scanner. test print ko from the box, pansin ko nga 50% agad ang level ng black ink after printing 0ne letter page.. yung other 3colors wala naman bawas.. Is that normal or actual na mabilis maubos ang ink ng black or software indication lang yon??? nakaka paranoid parang ayaw ko na tuloy mag print hehehehe

You see, its actually the inaccurate sensor that indicates false ink consuming.

    Unfortunately, I only discovered this gadget after I threw out a bunch of my "used out" cartridges, but to my surprise, when I resetted my "empty" original cartridge that I was able to keep, I was still able to print a lot of pages.

    I tried buying replacement cartridges from an ink stall in MegaMall (InkRite I think), but the last few sets that I've bought were half-filled, and nagiink blots (kumakalat ung ink sa different parts of the paper) I have yet to experiment which replacement brands are the best, but now what I'll be using first are original cartridges, and when they get "empty" in the sensor, I'll reset em until it the ink actually runs out.

    To my surprise, Epson printers are harder to maintain because of the ink cost and how much it uses up ink, compared to HPs. HPs have expensive inks but they do last a lot longer.

    Sounds intersting anong klaseng Gadget yon sir??? saan ikakabit?

    Its a small gadget found in CD-R King/Ink King. Works for my cartridges. :D Iaalign mo yung pins sa sensor, may red LED sa gitna ung gadget, and when it turns green, your cartridge is as good as new! :D (Yung sensor lang ah, di yung ink! haha)
