Best Answer

The cost of ink is the greatest expense when it comes to using printers. Many printers--especially inkjets--are priced very low, but you may find that replacing the ink cartridges costs as much as the printer itself. In addition, many printers are not built for heavy use over a period of time. You may spend money on new cartridges only to find that your printer has reached the end of its useful life. You can often save by buying ink from alternative sources or by refilling your cartridges. However, many printers will not work with refilled cartridges or with anything other than the brand's own cartridges. Some will work for a while with alternative cartridges or refilled cartridges and then suddenly quit. You want a printer that will meet your needs in terms of quality and amount of use, but will still use ink that is affordable. Keep in mind, however, that it is not just the price of the cartridge itself but the amount of ink it contains. Some may be cheap, but hold only a fraction of the ink that another cartridge provides.
