$29 for a freaking black cartridge

The markup on ink for the printer makers is outrageous.

Apoch003 · 02-14-03, 06:58 PM

That's why printers are so cheap.

Easier to get their money with the stuff you gotta replace.

Priceless_Dabson!~ · 02-14-03, 08:23 PM

actually you can almost buy a new printer for the same price as the cartrigesover here...it's really funny!!
Printer with 2 =$99
Cartriges 4 = $79
But the Canon BJC-8000 is just incredable for lasting long and the cartriges are huge and cheap! You should have a look at this printer....

I am sorry Opus for disrupting your thread, but when I read the word ink it made me think of Babel's saying, " linkadink."

I was about to post something like that I was looking for a good all around printer for every day use. Like pic, text that sort of thing but one that wouldnt go through cartriges so damn fast!!
Right now I have a old HP Deskjet 694C its still working but I wanted to upgrade it I want one in black to match my hole system

SO you the canon BJC 8000 is good for that?

Lol, reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Uncle Leo talks about how all old people steal batteries. "They don't last!"

"Swarm, swarm!" as the store security grabbed George.

someone is asking Dabby for advice!

I just print what I need to at work. We've got these big document centers that can handle 4 or 5 reams of paper. There are also various color laserjet printers around the building.

We've been using remanufactured toner in some of our printers and have had good luck with them. They're cheaper than original toner replacements, just as reliable, and last longer.

Rainbow · 02-16-03, 07:51 AM

I've never bought a single cartridge because I made sure that I bought a printer that uses the same cartriges as the one I have at work

sonik · 02-16-03, 07:29 PM

Buy a laser printer.

Yes it's and exellent printer .... It's got huge Ink replacements..... They are cheap!! The Canon I find has the best quality pic I've seen and it's really fast!
The price of the printer is really reasonable.........and most of all it's lasts..... I had mine for years.....
