Printer inks and toners

I have in the past ordered printer ink cartridges from the UK but most of the cut price companies will no longer ship to Portugal. As I needed some toner cartridges for a Samsung laser printer I decided to shop around here. Staples wanted €216 for a set of 4 genuine Samsung toner cartridges or €169 for their own version. Since I could buy several new printers for that sort of money I went online and found a special offer from a Portuguese company called Totalcopia Lda. They were offering 4 non original cartridges for the Samsung at €47.40 including delivery. I ordered and paid by bank transfer. The company provides next day delivery via a courier service but since I had quoted an Apartado they used Correio Azuk which gave next day delivery via the postal service.
I fitted one of the cartridges and it worked fine. Well worth investigating if you need printer ink supplies.

well done, great saving.
about once a year lidl sell german made cartridges for cannon which fit a good number of cannon printers. they were €3.99 each this year (originals are around €15 and refills are €8 so great savings if you have a cannon and you keen an eye out for them - around the first week in may in ireland, can't speak for other countries)

Do you have the web address for Totalcopia Lda, I have tried to google them but only come up with links about the company and not the actual website?
You could also try Cartridge World. They have a shop in Portimao and replace your print cartridges for a fraction of the cost to buy new.

As a matter of interest, there is also a Cartridge World in Albufeira.
