The price of just the black ink cartridge is $30.  The price of black and color ink cartridges is $50.  I can get refilled cartridges or third party for around $35 for both black and color.The printer is $30 at Walmart.  It comes with ink.  Plus, I can sell the old one for $10. 4951

Most of the cartridges that come with new printers are only filled at about 30%. 4951

My new HP printer gives an error if I do not use an HP cartridge...  Just another game to get people to pay for the more expensive cartridges with a name brand.  Did you know there is a little reset button on the cartridge that use can depress with a paperclip when your cartridge says low ink and you will get more use out of it? 4951

Printers are like cellphones. Practically give them away and they make the money on future ink sales. Bet a cartridge costs them a buck or two to put together. 4951

I came to this conclusion years ago. I have an Epson $130. The inks costs more. I don't print that often but when it runs out, going get a new printer. I have noticed recently they try to keep the ink slightly cheaper now than the printer, at least on the nicer ones. They also started designing them so that you can't refill them anymore. I know HP just lost a lawsuit where the sensors would not let you print, even when the ink was slightly less than half. LOL! That is some real evil right there. Easy fix is to put scotch tape on the sensor. 4951

I have been using an Epson for a few years now.  I found on Ebay an ink cartridge setup where you can refill it yourself.  They even supply the extra ink for about $25.00.  It last me about 6-8 months for only $25.00.  It has saved me a bunch of money!!http://www.ebay.com/itm/NON-OEM-CISS-CIS-INK-SYSTEM-for-epson-artisan-98-810-835-800-725-710-700-/261045115632?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc7805af0 4951

"Most of the cartridges that come with new printers are only filled at about 30%."So what.  The whole printer, with that ink, is less than the new ink cartridges.I purchased a refill kit.  Hopefully it works.  4951
