http://www.jrinkjet.co.uk/ - can you refill?
On printers with the head integrated into the cartridge, the "compatibles" are normally refilled/remade anyway.
There is also (though I'm highly suspicious of the claims) - http://www.inksaver.com/
It supposedly reduces the inking, without too serious a loss in quality until you hit large saving levels - now I would agree that most printers seriously overdo something like solid black, but that is a defect we should be pressing the makers to fix in the drivers.

It gets some good reviews - but if you can hold back 25% ink without losing quality, we should be hammering on the doors of the printer makers.
I think the answer is that Inksaver CAN work, but just how much saving it makes depends on if you want a small saving with still good quality, or to get down to deeper savings? - If you can get away with refilling, the break even point will be pushed a lot further back.
JR often feature on QVC - Friday Midnight is usually technology (if it's not Gem week or something!) and if it's the TSV, you get plenty of demonstration.
Serif had something bundled with Inksaver on a flyer a while back, but I think it was only V1 - I also saw V1 on a £6.00 computer fair CD - full version, fully legit (they don't warez at my local fair, just like we don't warez here)

Since your in the UK try here http://www.xscomputertechnology.freeserve.co.uk/cat35_1.htm I know its not a fix for you but they may have what you need at a good price.... 
Inksaver V2
Got hold of inksaver V2 , I have copied a couple of DVD covers at a reduced rate of 30%, the copies are very good probably get away with as much as 40
% and not notice any real difference. This could be a good investment to reduce the cost of over priced cartridges Keep you posted on progress.
