Last year i sold all my Dye sub kit to a chap at work, now i am looking to get back into the scene, and he is desperate to shift the kit
But.... when the Dye inks ran out he installed the Factory inks:frown:
so a couple of questions
1, If i purchase dye sub inks, how much would i be wasting to get rid of the factory inks?
2, As the model of printer is no longer available, how long will one be able to purchase the inks?
3, should i just spend the cash on the newer model? spending £30 or £130 on a printer is not my worry, but spending £200 on inks only to find the old printer having a problem or die'ing does.

Given the cost of inks and the relatively cheaper price of a new printer (which will come with warranty support from the distributor you buy it from) then it seems more cost effective to buy new - peace of mind etc. If you want a cheap inkjet printer then buy the GXe3300 and if you want I'll give you a load of full genuine inks for that printer. I've probably got 50 sets collecting dust which you're welcome to!

Probably! I'd rather just clear them out now rather than dump them all. £10 a set anyone???

Ahhh! I suspect as you requested priority despatch then it went today and I've only seen this post now so it's highly unlikely the crevices won't have been filled :(
If you want to pay for a courier delivery then I'll package up a (large and heavy) box worth of genuine GXe3300 cartridges
