Does anyone know who makes Tesco's own brand, Canon-compatible, replacement ink cartridges? I've heard that a lot of supermarkets own brand products are made by the original manufacturers but packaged for the supermarkets. Is there any truth in this I wonder?

i bought one from tesco's (own brand) for an epsom and it worked fine. Saved around �8 i think.
come to think of it, i can't say for sure it was tesco brand... but it certainly wasn't an epsom.
They are not made by HP, Canon, Lexmark etc but imported from the far east or at least the comapatible ones are. Refilled ones (usually HP or Lexmark) may come from UK. but I wouldn't use these as they clog up and though they seem empty aren't. Also poor quality on photos.

I Have brought Epson 46 printer from Tesco's and they work well, a black cartridge was around �6 in a stationary store was �15. 99 and WHSm �17.99 the colour cartridges also much cheaper, also I have a Lexmark photo copier from Tesco's only �39.99 and its a colour photo-copier, the cartridge lasted well and refil around �12 so yes I would highly recommend Tesco.


Re IMD 123 when I say Lexmark photo-copier I mean one that copies documents etc's not photographs. just to clear that up,
Yeah, nothing wrong with Epson compats it's the refilled ones that aren't up to much. The Epsons don't have print heads on and can be copied very easily. The HP's and Lexmarks can't and are sold as refilled. These are the ones I wouldn't touch. I have weighed supposedly empty ones and they weigh nearer the full weight than what the empty weight should be!

Thanks for all your replies guys - I have bought the ink! �14 for 3 pack of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow cartridges - Normally anywhere between �7 & �10 for one! I intend to print photos, so hopefully will come out alright!


Cheers once again
