Price of Ink is a disgrace.

I just paid $20 for an ink cartridge, my printer takes 4 cartridges. That's $80 worth of ink just to print some pages... fuckin scandelous..

I thought this was going to be a thread about tattoos. Have tattoos also gotten crazy expensive lately?

I agree... technology is just another way to drain our paycheques! Sure, they could make ink cartridges at a lower price, but then they wouldn't make as much money off of us. And they could make things last, but then again... they wouldn't make as much money off of us.

Have you ever wondered why printers are so cheap? It's not the printer they're making money on, it's the proprietary ink cartridges.

Get them refilled at those little kiosks in shopping malls, saves me a bundle because I do a lot of printing.

I use an Epsom and apperently these cartridges can't be refilled (like fuck they can't).
Also my printer stops working when one cartrige runs out, what pisses me off is it takes me an hour to find the cartridges I need and I can't buy a 4 pack only individual... grrr

buy them on ebay

I get 4 color and 3 black for $15

did you all know that epson and HP also own generic ink companies? so when you buy generic you are also technically buying hp, epson inc...just with a different label

go to ebay, and do a search by seller...and look for seller id eforcity

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQ...QsassZeforcity

i have bought from him for almost 3 years now, and only one time was a cartidge defective...i print all our photos with this ink, and also tons of other shit...i can vouche he only gets TOP quality ink
