Do you HAVE to use cartridges, or can you use free ink? And if so, where do you buy additional cartridges?

The photograph shows an aerometric converter is included with the kit. This will allow you to attach the converter to the pen (where the cartridge would normally fit), and pressing on the converter allows ink to draw from a bottle.

I haven't needed any ink. But if you can't find it on Amazon, I would go to the company's website.

A quick search on eBay shows me thousands of generic ink cartridges. However, you use them at your own risk, and Epson will happily void their printer's warrenty if anything goes wrong. As their own cartridges are INSANELY expensive, and will dry up whether you use them or not, the deck is stacked against you.

I buy all of my ink from the HP website. It is 10% cheaper than retail (same price as Amazon) and free shipping-plus you occasionally get a free package of photo paper with the order. You can buy all of the color cartirdges as a set or buy each color separately for $9.95. I have printed 250 pages of text and my black cartidge is only down 25%

I have not found ink refills for it, and it did not come with any extra. Even if you could refill it, it runs out so fast that it would be extremely expensive to keep refilling it every time it needed it.

My saving grace is continuous ink cartridges. They hold a couple months worth of ink and saves me hundreds of dollars. Good luck

I think if you go to their web site you can download/get instructions...?? OR go to YouTube.com and do a search on how to refill ink cartridges... there's several videos on how to do it... also it helps if you list the type/model # of your cartridge....

I've never used the compatible inks. I know it voids your warranty, so if you have a new printer I wouldn't use them.

I have never found just ink. I also have some extra paper but not a whole lot. Just had a lot one time when the ink cartridge jammed.

You get the sample versions of ink so you could use it right away. I would purchase the #564 multi pack and an addition extra large black. The ink is relatively inexpensive.

If I understand the question - This printer comes loaded with ink cartridges. Although, the cartridges are fairly low capacity. Enough to get you by for awhile. I hope this answers your question.

Ink cartridges came with the printer, but the Black cartridge ran out pretty quickly. Buy the XL ink tanks if you plan to do lots of straight printing.

I have a Waterman and use the refillable cartridges. Use Waterman ink of course and I believe I was able to get that through Amazon. This particular model was intended to be a gift but designed in the same principle. You can purchase the ready cartridges. Actually, either work and it is really up to you. I left the choice up to the recipient of my gift.

There is starter ink provided. Be sure not to buy the photo version of the 564 cartridges. They don't fit in the printer.

Here's a hint I use. When I am printing something that does not require color ink (such as a plain letter or music) I select black ink only on my printer (HP 8500) and that extends the life of the color ink greatly. Of course I use more black ink, but that's only one cartridge rather than all four. Also, I never use anything but original HP cartridges, no re-built ones - I've had bad luck with them - they're not worth it.

It takes the small universal ink cartridge that I think you can get at Stapes, etc. I've left the box it came in at my FL home, but check the ad again; I think it may even come with a converter that uses bottled ink.

Yes, the printer does come with ink! There are also some very economical inks available on Amazon.com for this printer. I bought some replacement ink here that wasn't "brand name" as recommened, but it works great and there's more for your money.
