I use third party ones from a UK supplier (as I am UK ) and they are cheap and reliable and I genearlly end up buying once a year when they have special offers which makes them even cheaper. A lot of scaremongering is made by printer manufactures who probably sell their printers at a loss and make all the money on cartridges.
If one cartridge is duff so what so much cheaper and my old printer keeps on going !
This is similar to cell phones, sell at loss with connection/pay as you go options and recover the cost quickly from the average user. And even quicker from the text and chatter addicted
