I always buy non OEM cartridges from eBay may be the best place for originals too?
Same here but off of a seller on Amazon , Perfect Print , Mostly Invoices & records it prints and the non OE do just fine. The last lot were £12 odd for 26

I'm using a Canon at the moment but with a recent firmware update finding it difficult to find non OEM cartridges that now work.

Daughter has a cannon at uni and I get her cartridges from Stinkyink. Not had any problems yet. My Epson is very fussy when it comes to cartridges.

Press and hold the red triangle button that will override the printer asking for genuine cartridges

I've tried that & it doesn't always work!
Luckily I've found a Non-OEM brand that work for the present.

I'd choose internet-ink.com . Id be wary of the type of printers you have or what you use them for it may cost you more in the long run.
If your printing just invoices and black and white choose a mono black laser jet there are some very good one's on the market and the compatible toners can only cost £10 for 1000+ pages.
Best models at the moment for mono toner are HP 85A and Samsung D111S.
For colour laserjet models look at the Brother TN241/245 toners or HP 410X. Best thing about toner it doesn't dry up.
For ink jet models always look at the cost of the ink before you purchase the printer.
Decent printers can be purchased at around £50. Golden rule always buy a printer with more than 3 cartridge slot with ink jets.
Basically if you don't your colour will run out when any of the CMY colours run out costing you a lot.
Sometimes buying a new printer can save you the cost of inks in the long run. Personally the new Canon models are top draw from the TS and MG series taking the 550 and 570 inks in 5 cartridge slots. Pictures are top draw printers and cartridges are very affordable.
Buy your inks from wherever you want. Amazon offer most sales exVat sellers so if you're buying genuine inks you'll get the best price 9/10 as they ship from offshore especially if you're not in a rush for them as they take longer than buying from a UK based company.
Always make sure you have the correct tools for your printer and needs.
Your savings on compatible ink cartridges and toner cartridges will mean a lot compared to buying the genuine ones. If your printer breaks the savings you made from choosing the right printer mean you save a lot in the long run, just buy another. Most printers last 3-5 years on average, upgraded models use better technology, long term you can add an extra £500 in your pocket.
Hope you find the right ones.

I buy non OEM cartridges from www.discountcartridges.co.uk for my HP printer a full set including an extra black costs about £25 from them as opposed to about £100 from HP. I get a warning message on my printer when I install them to say that non HP cartridges are installed but I just ignore it and carry on, they work just fine and last just as long as the HP ones.
the good thing with hp is that the print head is on the cartridge, so non genuine should work ok but with other makes such as epson non genuine cartridges eventually block up the print head nozzles and the machine is then scrap, genuine printer ink works out at about £6000 per gallon. inside the cartridge is a sponge that soaks up the ink. also in the bottom of the printers is another sponge that soaks up the ink that the printer spews out prior to printing to clean the nozzles.

All good advice.
For my part, I have a Canon MG7750 with six inks. For continuous printing its quite economical, but the less often or less consistently its used, the more expensive ink it uses per copy. The reason being a common one with inkjet, in that it purges the nozzles and goes through cleaning cycles, and in so doing a lot of ink is squirted to a waste tank or pad. I don't think it's any worse than any other inkjet and is a prime reason for even casual irregular users getting a laser for text work.
The MG7750 is a photo-printer and produces excellent colour photos.
As for ink, up until now I've used genuine Canon. However I've just had a delivery of non-genuine recycled cartridges from my usual supplier www.cartridgesave.co.uk
