Well, if you go to myinks.com without clicking it from a gratis site, you can find some prices that are like $3.95, or $4.95 for a cd-r 10 pk....
But if you click myinks.com from a gratis website, you cannot find the same things.......such as the $3.95 becomes a 2-PK so its $7.xx....and the cd-r's become a 50-PK or 100-PK
AHHHHH...that sucks
but oh well, just wanted to let u know

Why would u wanna get cd-r's from an ink site? =/
Watch out for myinks!!!
I ordered an ORIGINAL new cartridge for my printer (in other words, my printer manufactorer made it). Got my order today, and it's a stinking refill kit!!
Just called them, they said they're sending the original cartridge with a prepaid shipping label, so we'll see how it goes.

cause you gotta order something to complete the offer....and a 10-pk cd-r is 4.75 i think....unless you go from the gratis site, you gotta buy a 50-pk /
=relik
I wouldn't buy anything other than ink if you're gonna do that offer... in the popup window with the requirements (you have to turn off your popup blocker), it says like "Purchase any [b25a527e09d]ink[/b25a527e09d] product".

from what i've heard it is.....I've never tried, my printer has 6 seperate ink slots, so I'd rather just buy a new 6-pk of generic for $20 ;]

most printer heads are designed with planned obsolecence.
In other words, they are designed to print only XX pages before they wear out.
So you can refill the ink all you want, but those heads are working overtime.
That's why some people have fancy printers, and their print quality is cr@p.
On a sidenote, some professionals, drain the ink in the manfacuturer cartridges, and put their own inks in for better quality. Expensive, but a way to get good ink and good cartridges.
It's impossible to get generic catridges since every printer company (epson, hp, cannon, lexmark, etc.) has a patent on their head design. So all you can legally sell is ink. Anything else would be gross infringement on their many patents. And they go very quickly after anyone who violates this, including re-selling used catridges with refilled ink (some do that).
So be careful!
IMHO, I stick with the real thing. I buy in bulk at CDW, since they are light, buy in bulk so you save on shipping. I get several at a time. Keep them sealed and in an in a dark dry place until you need them.
