Alternative Epson Ink

I just bought this printer a few weeks ago, it's not bad at all for the money, but I found the inks were quite expensive considering the price of the printer, no idea why they cost just as much as the printer, found an alternatives on this site http://www.superinks.co.uk/eps... hope this helps people! Great review though, I agree on the scanning part it's a little bit light but you can't really notice it that much. Great little printer and I would recommend it to everyone! :)
