Is it possible to use a brand of ink in a printer from a different brand?

Hi, I have a Dell printer and I need to buy some black ink. Unfortunately, the only brands sold at Best Buy (where I was planning to go) do not include Dell inks. So does anyone know if it's ok to use any other brand for this printer?Is it possible to use a brand of ink in a printer from a different brand?
Sure you can. Just as long as its the right one for your printer. Some places even fill up your old cartridges for you.Is it possible to use a brand of ink in a printer from a different brand?
Just bring the clerk your printer make and model number and he will give you the right cartridge for your printer. There is a huge $ mark-up on ink. Some companies will tell you that they will not honor the warranty if you use another brand ink, So what? I can buy a new printer with an ink cartridge included for what Lexmark wants for one black and one color ink cartridge.
buy a refill kit and you save lots of money on ink.


see the label on the kit carton , whether it says its for Dell printers or not.

    I have a printer that now only prints around 30 sheets per ink cartage and that cost $22.00 to buy a new one and can't be refilled. Can anybody tell me a good printer that I can refill the cartage's at home and get more pages printed from the cartage's than 30 pages?Cheepest home printer for the ink money?
    get an Epson R280 and get a refillable or what so called Continuous Ink System. Here are two good choices -

    refillable cart system

    HP deskjet printer.. it only cost around $40 (aus) and the cartridges can be refilled 3 times before having to buy new ones. The refill costs $10. The new one cost around $50 for the black and colour cartridges.and I get heaps of usage out of them..
    Get a Kodak printer ESP 3. The ink is very resealable just about $14.95 for all colors.





    I left the link for the printer below. Then you purchase the Ink from Kodak. This is a great system for the right price - for the next few years.
    Go to the Epson website and check out Clearance. Printers are refurbs and the warranty is the same as the new ones. Free S%26amp;H. Then go to the website and buy a CISS for the printer you selected. The CISS will save you TONS of money and almost never run out of ink. http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/

    What computer store can I find the Dell 926 printer ink?

    StaplesWhat computer store can I find the Dell 926 printer ink?
    Staples and Walmart only sells the small versions of the Dell Series 9 (926 printer).





    There are probably some computer shops that will sell refilled versions as well, just make sure they back up their product with a good warranty.





    If you do a search on the web for 926 printer cartridges, many places will pop up.What computer store can I find the Dell 926 printer ink?
    Staples has all Dell inks exclusively.





    Or Office Depot, they have their equivalent.





    Both will be cheaper thana comp store because fo higher volume sales.
    a different answer.. the walgreen drug store is filling cartridges.. ten dollars black fifteen dollars color.. take your cartridge to them.. they test it afterward and if it does not work you dont pay.. ok gilermo.
    Dell seem to be going the online sales way... to get their ink...


    go to dell's website and see who sells their ink

    How can I get ink from my printer out of my carpet?

    The ink accidently sprayed on my carpet. Is there anything that will take this out?How can I get ink from my printer out of my carpet?
    Liquid printer ink is generally solvent based and will require a solvent to clean. Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is a rather mild solvent, but it will work for most inks.





    Blot up as much as possible with a dry towel, and be sure to work from the outer edge toward the center of the spill. Then dampen a clean, white cotton towel with isopropyl alcohol (do not pour alcohol directly onto the carpet), and blot the stain. Repeat until ink is no longer being transferred onto the towel. If there's still a stain, try blotting with household hydrogen peroxide on a white cotton towel. Alcohol will dry out, but if you use peroxide you will need to rinse thoroughly with water.How can I get ink from my printer out of my carpet?
    Spray the area really well with hair spray. Blot the ink up well with plenty of paper towel. DO NOT rub the hairspray in. Re apply more hair spray if it doesn't all come up right away. Then, use a damp cloth to remove the hair spray residue. Blot well with paper towel. Good luck!!!!
    I suggest scrubbing REALLY good with soap. A good type of soap though.
    Folex!





    Get it at your local supermarket in the cleaning isle.





    It takes out everything
    Try Oxyclean. Its alot safer than most chemicals.
    DON'T LET IT DRY!!!!!! Getting out wet stains is WAY easier than dried ones. Spray shout on it and cover with Saran wrap until you can do something else.





    Meanwhile, go to Target/Walmart / Etc and buy a Bissell little green machine. It'll cost $40, but it will be very worth it. Bring it home and use it, it should work. I've seen it get nasty things out of my carpet.
    i would try TIDE-TO-GO. that stuff's amazing
    if it is fresh ammonia might work. i got ink everywhere once while refilling cartridge. good luck.
    bleach it
    hair spray...spray till wet...blot with a WHITE paper towel. Get up as much as you can...use a stain remover and clean the carpet. (never use bleach on a carpet...it eats the fibers, not to mention bleaching it)
    If none of those suggestions work. then buy a little area rug.

    Can you answer now about Dell Printer and ink?

    ok, I have refilled my Dell ink cartridges three times and now the printer refuses the cartridges by saying there is no cartridges in the printer. First, can you tell me how to tell if the usb cables are plugged into the right spot? Is there a cheap aio printer that uses cheap ink and compatible with Dell printer?Can you answer now about Dell Printer and ink?
    I know nothing about Dell printers but I know that with every other make of printer I have had, Canon, Lexmark, Hp etc after you refill the cartridge so many times, about 3 or 4, you need a new cartridges as the connectors burn out. If you notice there is a metal bit in the cartridge and to my layman's understanding when printing the metal cartridge tips heat up and that is how the ink gets on the page. The more times it is heated the more it burns it out. This could be the reason but perhaps someone can tell you something helpful as to why yours wont work and you can get it going. I always buy a new cartridges as a matter of routine after 4 fills.





    In relation to the USB. If it worked before and it is in the same place I would think that it was not the cable at fault and as I have not got a Dell, again, I am sorry I am of no help there. I also can't help with a compatable recomendation for a Dell printer.Can you answer now about Dell Printer and ink?
    This is definitely because you've already refilled them 3 times. Generally 3 is the limit before the cartridges and chips degrade.





    If you are looking to save some dollars on Dell cartridges, I'd recommend remanufactured ones here: http://www.castleink.com/_Dell.html





    That said, I really loath Dell printers because they use a lot of ink and genuine replacement cartridges are a rip off. Honestly, if you are looking for a new printer, consider an HP, Canon or Epson. I'm especially fond of Canon.

  • I want to print a statement over and over. How do I set up my ink-jet printer?

    Want to print ';NO SMOKING'; on photo paper over and over, so I can cut the signs out and post them. How do I do this?I want to print a statement over and over. How do I set up my ink-jet printer?
    You can go to google images and find a sign that you like download it to your computer (right click on image and save picture as) then just open the image where you saved it (the desktop is easiest) click file print and select the number of copies you want printed in the box that appears and there you go. Here is a sample no smoking sign:

    you should not have to cut them just make the signs then go to file, then print and on the right side it will ask you how many copies you want....whatever the ink cartridge you have will bear print to your hearts content!
    control panel..printers...properties..page set up...u should c it there...just adjust the amount of prints u want...hope this helps
