Last year my good friend Carolyn had referred me to a company she had been using for quite a while to purchase ink cartridges at a discount. The company's name was Tyler-Martin. Carolyn seemed pleased with their products and I trust her opinion but still after a lot of consideration I was just too
Here at Knotty Pines we really rely on our printer for everything so if something were to happen to it we would be in really bad shape. Well my concerns didn't last long because in just over a year's time our Epson cartridges went up in price drastically. The individual colored cartridges went up to over $13 each and the double capacity black cartridges went to over $37. What ended up happening was we stopped using the printer anyway because it got to the point were we didn't have it in the budget to replace the cartridges.
During our preparations for the new school year I asked Carolyn again who she was using for her ink cartridges. To my amazement not only was she still using Tyler-Martin, she was still very pleased with their quality of ink and seemed even more pleased with their costumer service, AND her Epson printers were still in fine working condition.
So I took the plunge and now I will never look back. I was able to purchase a complete set (double capacity black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges) for only $20.95 with a flat shipping rate of $6. You do the math but that is an amazing savings. I have found the quality of ink no different than Epson's cartridges, at least for what we print out in our school and home, and the customer service has been fabulous with same day shipping, so I know I don't have to wait weeks to get a new cartridge. I still haven't found any company that offers our Epson's cartridges cheaper.
My only regret... I should have done this earlier.... I could have saved a lot of money -- sigh!!!
