I need some more ink for my Epson R200 as well as photo paper. Ink I can probably buy from Island Inkjet, however paper is sooo expensive here (staples). Anywhere online where I can get cheaper printer paper and maybe some ink?

I've bought no-name ink on ebay for good prices before. I had an old Epson 777. First I bought staples ink for it and it was horrible. Clogging every 2 days. Then I got a few cartridges off ebay and they worked great! I now have an R200 as well and love it. I haven't needed to buy extra ink for it yet but when I do I will probably look to ebay. When a set of cartridges costs as much as the whole printer I don't see the point of buying the epson ink. Who cares if the cheap ink shortenes the life of the printer - they are cheap now anyways, you'll probably make you money back by not buying "official ink"

My printing supplies usually come from the computer store at my University. Pretty good student prices for the quality that I need when printing my assignments/presentations. I've tried the Island Ink a couple of times before, but the last time I did it from them, the ink blotted and messed up stiff pretty bad. Not taking that chance any more - at least while still in school.
