Rick 156 Report post Posted March 31, 2012 Oh yeah. Even at Costco, it's way too expensive. I hate having to buy printer ink. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SingsInFrench 262 Report post Posted March 31, 2012 Yes, it it. I bought a Kodak printer so that I could buy cheaper ink. It's now about $10 for a black cartridge and $20 for a color ink cartridge. A little better, anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wild1forever 152 Report post Posted March 31, 2012 Definitely. My printer is pretty high-end (I needed it for work); the last cartridge I bought cost around $70. :eek: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomFest 576 Report post Posted March 31, 2012 Fortunately, I have a company provided printer at home, and they also pay for the toner and paper. But yes, ink jet cartridges are crazy expensive. It's almost like you should throw the printer away and just buy a new printer because it comes with a cartridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most companies don't do that anymore, unfortunately; because that's what I would be doing! :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marion 1,411 Report post Posted April 1, 2012 I wonder why it's so expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weird monkey 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2012 Marion, I think it is because they sell printers cheap, because the ink cartridges are proprietary to each brand (and even model!), so the companies make money hand over fist on ink. Yeah, it's too expensive, when you consider the fact that knock off brands are thriving selling theirs at a substantial discount. I had to go back to brand name though, because after a couple replacements, the knock offs started screwing up the color disbursement, and I need pretty accurate reperoduction when I use a photo for referencing paintings. Some day I hope to afford an iPad so I can use that instead of printing photos when I paint! The laptop works okay, but it is cumbersome, I can't get it close enough to the easel, and I need it for other purposes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
