I have a Epson Artisan 1430 printer, you can't get them in a bundled package that I can find, has anyone used the refurbished cartridge do they ruin your printer? know of a good place to get the ink?
Have a look at Precision Colors Ink, they get good reviews. You can try their inks for thirty five dollars. They also have icc profiles for a lot of papers. Something not offered by most third party ink sellers.

I ruined a really good HP printer with refurbished cartridges. I hate being captive for a corporation, but I won't let that happen again. When I had the precursor to the OP's printer that used the same cartridges, I ordered the full set from Epson (not as a bundle, but ordering all six at the same time) and the price was less than anywhere else.

I have had 3 different Epson printers which could print 13” x 19” sheets .... when the nozzles plugged up on the first one and I could not clear them ... I bought the next model .... and eventually a few years later the same thing happened .... and then bought a R2880, which I am still using ... I went through a lot of cartridges .... eventually I researched refillable cartridges and inks .... and about 3 years ago bought
www.InkOwl.com .... and I compared the color print to the same image done with the Epson ink .... and I could not discern a difference. I’ve been happy with InkOwl ... it has dropped my ink costs by about 90% .... but it does take about an hour to refill all 8 cartridges. I lay a plastic trash bag on the counter for my work area ... in case of a spill ... which has not happened so far.

I have a 1430 and Precision Colors are great. I am completing my 7th refill(the original order included filled cartridges - thus 8 printing cycles) with no problems and have ordered another batch (again including cartridges). Recently was in Florida for two weeks, the printer was unplugged; on return, the nozzles needed cleaning and then quality printing happened.

I use the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 which preceded your 1430. I bought a set of refillable cartridges, four ounce bottles of each color ink and syringes to refill the cartridges, total cost about $75.00. I've been extremely pleased with the results.
This was just over four years ago - I'm going to need to re-order very soon. The supplier is Cobra Ink in Cookeville, Tennesee (
www.cobraink.com).
I would suggest that you check them out.
I've been using Ink Farm for five years or more and have been very satisfied. I have an Epson 860 with six colors. I keep a supply of up to three cartridges of each color on hand. When I get done to one, I refill my
inventory. They give fast service and they purchased back my cartridges when I upgraded my printer. I run the head cleaner if I haven't used the printer much during the month. Maintenance is very important with
any printer.
I have a 1430 that is at least ten years old. When I first got it I was shocked at the price of replacement cartridges. The printer set idle for a little over two years while I was out of state. I found cartridges on Amazon. 2 sets for $22.00. After two years setting They were as good as the OEM and I've been buying them ever since. I also have a 4760 All in one that I buy ink from Amazon for. Its a little cranky recognizing the refills but they do work
