You might look around at printpal. I've used their cartridges in several printers with no problems.

I never used any of the store-bought ones but tried one from a local business that does them. Actually, I tried two. The first wouldn't work at all. The second did a miserable print job. I do printing as a business, and WYSWYG is very important, but the pictures printed terribly. The colors were waaaay off. He told me mine was their best seller, so I cannot account for other people liking it except to say most just want something printed out. While it is extremely important to me, it doesn't matter to everyone what the printout looks like. I should point out mine are HP printers and I so very much wish I could get ink for less than these outrageous prices. Additionally, the printers in the last 4 or 5 years are made to consume more ink, while the cartridges are filled with less ink. I would suggest you try it to determine for yourself. Usually, the costs are low enough for one experiment at least. Also, you can purchase the ink in bottles and do the re-filling yourself. My cousin has been doing that for years.

i have several friends use non genuine cartridges with good
results as good as genuine, myself i use a continous ink supply which is excellent and at a fraction of the cost of genuine.Not sure about Dell but mine is epson with chipped cartridges. Would never go back.

If you have a Dell printer you have to buy Dell refills.I went to staples and they said there is no refill for Dell you have to send away for them.So I chucked the printer and brought a HP office jet allin one printer.This printer is great except it prints the last page first and the fisrt page last.Am I doing something wrong?

goldy,
I have an Epson printer, and when I go to File, page setup, printer, properties, page layout, it has an option that says reverse order. I wonder if you have that and that is where you would correct it?
