Most of the low cost printers are very expensive for ink cartridges. But
the more expensive ones arent necessarily better.
I have a Colour Laser printer at home, and to replace the colour toner
if all colours are replaced costs about as much as the printer itself.
When you purchase the printer though, you only get the half capacity
cartridges though.
