| 747205 | 2009-02-12 10:29:00 | I have been given an oldish 710C printer with two dead cartridges. I know the printer should probably be dumped but if I can get it to work I will use it for a while. My first question is this: Can this printer take a large black only cartridge or does it need to have a colour cartridge in it even if I do not want to print in colour for the most part? My second question is this:What is the opinion of the forum regarding ink cartridges ----- Remanufactured or original new ---- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope to hear from you soonish. |

I always use original. Have heard some people have issues with remanufactured cartridges, while others swear that they are great. My mother-in-law bought a reman cartridge for her old Epson, printer didn't like it and I ended up helping her get a refund (brownie points for me :D) |

| 747208 | 2009-02-12 18:37:00 | The 710 and 810 are great little printers, especially for the ease of double sided printing and I still use mine and have used both sorts of cartridges in them with equal success. I haven't tried with only the black though so can't answer that one. |

I even have a spare (full) black lying about here for one. And yes remanufactured is fine. |
