OK, so my printer cartridge dies. the little *HP 45.

I went to the local "china-Mart" store and was shocked at how much a
little plastic cartridge with some kind of coal dust can cost.

I don't print much. I don't have much reason to, but dang!

Somebody said in the case of their older Lexmark printer the cartridge
was higher than getting a new printer with cartridges preloaded.

amazing.

The razor is cheap, but the blades will kill ya.

My color laser takes four carts, each retailing for about $90. But each
is good for about 2500 copies. I print mostly in black, so I get about a
year out of the other three carts.

My wife has a monochrome laser in her home office. About 4000 copies
from each $70 cart.

Are you using an inkjet printer? Sounds like it.
