    I managed to get a good deal from Europoint just before they went up. I’m sure if you speak to your local rep he will sort you a deal out.

    Was quoted good prices from Sericol but they screwed up the 2 orders that I placed with them and found them a nightmare to deal with.

    Others may have had less trouble though.

    Cheers

    As Gary said Serico are great on price but mix orders up, however they did send a cab from 80 miles away when they knew it was their fault cant beat that for customer service….

    Like who buddy? Grafityp quote £99 (or at least the email did) and perfect colours – £89. I thought I was doing quite well but if I’m missing out I’d like to know 🙁

    Roland advised they don’t supply Inks to Sericol and to double check they are Originals , could be they are bringing in from Roland Europe i guess?

    Will check it out or if you can keep me right?

    carts are all Roland branding and look like originals I would not use any other !!!!!!!! and if I find there not I will pop down and see them !!!

    years ago I could buy ICI PAINT THAT WAS MADE IN SLOUGH and shipped to Belgium and brought back to the Uk cheaper than I could buy it Direct from ICI

    we were paying £40 per lt in the UK same paint exported and re imported £25 per lt now hows that work !!!!
    I hope for Sericos sake this is Roland ink. As the carts are identical and I print using Roland colour in my Signlab for versaworks on MD5 and the colour are all correct as in the roland Meta-mark colour swatch how can I tell !!!!

    Sorry didnt want to get in to a price war I was just saying what I pay, never dealt with europoint, would like to but the account setting up thing has always put me off. I pay by card with every order and have not had time to fill out a form.

    Dont worry Richard, its nice to see cam is on his toes! £71 is a very keen price mind, I’d be interested to see how long they hold it, I wondered if they’d bought in a supply before the costs went up?

    Rich is right here. The cartridges from Sericol are Rolands. I can’t be sure but think Cameron saw them when he came here.

    Low prices from alternative suppliers just gives you more negotiating power when dealing with your existing suppliers. 😉

    Will be looking for some more soon so will be interesting to see what deals are to be had.

    Cheers

    Bet you were relieved to find they were definately roland! I didnt sleep the night I put those bio-mg ones in mine, luckily no side affects what so ever but we wont be going there again!

    The carts even at £99 represent good value as they seem to print forever!
