$37. plus for a little printer cartridge???
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. |

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. |

Yep, an HP Deskjet 932C a cart will last me about a year because like I said I don't use it that much But I went over to ebay and there's lots of places selling them for 7-9 bucks with free shipping. One place has well over 100,000+ feedback rating, so. I'm thinking that may be the ticket for me in the future. |

Keep your eye on the ads and when you see a $69 printer, buy 10. When the first one runs out of ink throw the whole thing away and open up the box with the second printer. |

These days you can buy a monochrome laser printer for under $200. It prints better than an inkjet printer, and the carts can be anywhere from $50 on up for a cart that prints thousands of copies. |

But, if you do the guinea pig thing and let me know how it works out, that's OK too! You don't have to worry too much about HP off brand carts. Seeing that the print head is built into the cart you just throw it away if it fails. There's a little more risk with Canon printers and those others where the print head is not part of the ink cart. I've used off brand ink with Canon printers for a few years now and not had a problem. Some folks have developed premature print clogs with the off brand stuff. |

Many budget printers are supplied with reduced capacity 'trial'/'get you started' cartriges to preserve the price differential. Also most cartridges have a use by date that if vastly exceeded can result in a blocked printhead. OTOH there are plenty of people EBAYing printers without cartridges . . . -- Ian Malcolm.
