I've got a HP wireless all in one, had it a about three years. Because we don't use it that often, I buy the genuine carts, about £17 for back&colour. I can't see the point of buying compatibles for such light usage, they will eventually bugger it up.

Unfortunately there are a few reports of printer damage using some after market cart's, so I am hoping that I can find someone who has found good ones. Yes, agree about Lexmark, so if anyone has used aftermarket successfully with these I would like to hear about it. I should mention here that my printer is an all-in-one that a neighbour was throwing out, so even if I have to pay for OE, I will be ahead.

I've used JetTec cartridges for Lexmark, HP and Epson over the years without issue.  Also, I sold thousands of JetTec cartridges when I ran my IT business, without any complaint or return.

Now use Canon printers and inks from http://www.internet-ink.co.uk without any problems.  They also do Dell pattern cartridges, but I've no experience of these.

Best advice re Dell printers is TB's advice - bin it

My old Epson managed 3 sets of JetTec before the heads wouldn't clean any more.

I think part of my issue is the colour printer gets so little use.

Ive successfully cleaned the heads using a cleaning kit on my Epson printer.....it can be done without using the printer software to clean the heads 

I ran £25 worth of cleaning fluid through. That and £50 of cartridges to try again. After that it went to landfill, and its successor bought (for £150  )

Laser printers are reliable. Colour printers available but black and white is good enough.

I am surprised soaking them overnight with blotting paper under the heads didn't work...
Tho it could have been because of the type of ink you used. Pigment ink will block the heads more easily if little use, hence I always use dye ink.

I use an Epsom SX series and get ink from here http://www.prink.co.uk/
No issues at all.

I only use genuine. As recommended with all other parts
