epson photo printer 830u £49

i read an advert in saturday papers from p.c. world that said the epson photo printer 830u was £49, from £99, until next tuesday, it was a four day thing. i just went to their website and its there on the homepage.

know i dont know if its a web only thing, or if there was a voucher of sorts in the paper, i dont recall the paper mentioning the net only, but i only had a quick glance at it.

i got one a few weeks back for £99, which was still a good price because its been great so far, really good results for what i need. and the ink isnt too expensive, you can get other brand ones for around £10 both colour and black.

out of interest, i got mine from jessops, do they have anything where if you see it so many days after purchase, they refund the difference? cant hurt to ask.

Yep you need to take the newspaper with you. They also have PS2 and XBox chart titles at £29.99. I went to my local store this morning and several people were complaining about this ad and the manager wouldn`t budge because they didnt have the ad. Don`t think he was too happy when I lent them my paper. Shame!

The ad was not in today's papers (I think) but it was in Saturdays
I went & got one today, had to have the ad, so went to local paper shop first & asked them it they still had any of Saturdays left.
The ad was in the Mirror & the Sun, don`t know about any other papers.
Thanks for the heads up cirdan

I had a Lexmark X73- the print was fine but the ink cost a bomb!
Even buying compatible cartridges, it cost about £32 to buy 1 black & 1 colour cartridge.
The Epson uses chipped cartridges, but you can still buy compatibles & get 4 black & 4 colour cartridges for about £32.

Goodbye Lexmark, Hello again Epson…

Here's a link for compatible cartridges, I've used this firm for years

Cheers. Thanks for the spot. Needed a new printer. Got one of the last two at PC World in Guildford.

If you have their newspaper add cutting, take that to your local "Currys" & they will price match it.
Today is the last day of the offer.
Their out of town superstores are normally open till 8 pm in the weekdays.
