Ink Cartridges for Inkjet printers- What to use?

I have two prniters, DELL and EPSON, basic all around color printers for printing everyday stuff and sometimes photos. Is there any difference in using non-original ink cartridges i.e not buying from OEM DELL or EPSON and replace them with remanufactured, or recyled, or non-oem cartridges. What about Ink Refilling? Have anyone tired it? Were there any quality or other issues? Does it screw up your printer? What websites you found to be relaible and good value for for quality NON-OEM ink?

My Compaq Presario will not work!!!!!!!?

I JUST got this yesterday (Presario SR2027X), and after turning off my machine, it pops up with the screen "Windows did not shut down successfully." (Even though I went to START, shut down, etc.) Then, when I go to "start Windows normally", it goes right back to that same page. So, then I go to "start in last known configuration" and my desktop pops up with the icons and start button, only to have them disappear after a few seconds. What is causing this and how do I fix it? PLEASE help!
