Anyone bought replacement blades off ebay?

[Chris Wool]

lots of talk about cheap blades oh don’t do this and that, best is buy some and make your own mind up.
my experience is not a problem.

Have bought blades, which claimed the were the real deal from flea bay, never presented a problem.

Hi Neil

I’ve bought a heap of blades off eBay over the years, trying different brands/suppliers, and whilst some are better than others, none seem to last anywhere as long as OEM products. But, as they are much cheaper, it is touch and go whether they are value for money or not…
Everybody is different, with different machines, jobs, techniques etc., but for me the best value for money blades I have found is Digiprint Supplies in Belgium.

Cheers

I use these guys in Aus, a lot cheaper than originals and last longer in my experience too.

Have been using blades off ebay, but seem to be always changing them, so have just bought some genuine roland (4 times the price) & am hoping they are worth the money, only time will tell
