When I worked in retail, a lot of people stole them just to try and return them for store credit. I would deal them the shaft if they didn't have a receipt and make a mental note to inform security next time I saw them if they were shifty about it.

Yeah they are. I recently bought a canon s330 printer for like 50 bucks. Thing is fast and a big selling point was that new black cartridges are about $6-7. Nothing else can compare to that baby! Color are pretty darn cheap too. That's better than my epson's $20/pop for $40 printer.

HP's are really pricey too. It was like $55 for a color and black&white. I almost got a new printer instead.

I've always manage to get a black and colour cartridge for my Epson printers for £10 ~ $15 at the computer fair. Not Epson brand most of the time, but have had it sometimes when they had a good deal. Most of the time it is another brand but I have never noticed the difference. Quality always good and I am happy

From now on I'm only buying Canon color inkjet printers.

Yea Canon and Epson seem to be the best price.

My parnets HAD a HP and then a Lexmark. Each time they got ride of them when they went to the store and saw the price of ink. I gave them my old Canon 6000 and they love it, cheap ink and fast and good quality

I have been dealing with this company for about three years. Their stuff is either the same or higher quality that the name brands. They also sell on Ebay, where their stuff is even cheaper.

Refill or buy remanufactured.

[randomlinh]

i had third party inks... especially for epson... a lot of times they tend to clog the print heads...

 

[aircooled]

you can almost buy a new printer every time you run out of ink....

i got some cartridges from here. They seem to work good enough. I dont have to print anything fancy though, just reports and similar things.

I made the mistake of buying a Lexmark printer, a Z55 to be exact. I only did so because the listing mentioned Linux support. However, it turns out that the Linux driver for it is a worthless piece of garbage that refuses to cooperate with anything, and now I'm stuck with a lackluster printer that costs less than its ink cartridges. I'm just going to keep refilling the carts that came with it until they wear out, then I'm going to throw it away and buy an Epson. Everyone says they work great in Linux, and that's what's really important to me.
