Pearl paint used to carry the Mirage brand http://www.mirageinkjet.com .
The last time I bought a black refill for the Stylus Color 800, it was an
unbelievable $7.88. I would have bought all they had but it was the last
one and appeared to be a close-out.

| John,
| I shop for noname cartridges at computer shows. I've had excellent results
| with both my old 800 (before the power surge) and the newer 740. I can
| easily get both a color and black cartridge for under $10. The ink weight
| matches that of Epson brand cartridge (difference between full and empty).
| The colors and depth seem to be a dead match. Next time I get some at a
| show, I'll get the vendor's info and pass it on.
|
| I used to do cartridge refilling. I think that had strong influence to the
| detriment of a couple of Canon printers I've had. I simply won't do it
| anymore.
