I just bought a new printer for LESS than new ink would cost for my old one...does this make any sense on why they are so cheap.. its a lexmark..

new lexmark ink cartriges are stupidly expensive.
so, we have a lexmard ink jet printer for $50 if anyone wants it.

we use those universal ink refilling kits.
weve refilled out epson 4 times now, and have probably a couple more, for$20.

and yes, our new printer was cheaper than the new cartdige for our old one.

Can i use those to fill my new one too?

more than likely.
look for ones that have lexmark on the package, most do multiple types.
follow the instructions in the section about your printer, and if blondeness gets in the way, post away! someone will probably help you.

I use compatibles they are 50% cheaper than orginals and are as good and come with warranty against damaging youre printer ( they used to say use geniune ink only or itll screw youre printer up ! )

This is a u.k. company but itll give you some idea !
