"Billns" -- almost, but not quite, worth buying just to get the two print cartridges. be aware, printers are marketed to have you purchase ink at outrageous prices. buying a new printer is not an option in some cases, as the bundled cartridges have reduced quantities of ink, having you purchase new cartridges quicker. |

I know, I know. It's like the razor and razor blades, although the latest five-blade Gillette razor itself is pretty expensive along with the razor blades. The blades do last me a month, though.

I already mentioned Gillette in another message. A tripack of two color and one black and white cartridges for my inkjet goes for $89 from Amazon directly and for $47 from one of Amazon's affiliates. How many pages does this 'pack' print? Don't know, don't count. The color and black/white cartridges typically last six months, but if I print out a lot of photos or my wife's quilt group newsletter (at least ten pages every month) it may be less than that. The tripack really doesn't work for me as I seem to use up both cartridges at about the same time. I buy my HP cartridges from either Staples or Costco, depending on who has the best deal at the time. BTW, be careful that the 'affiliates' aren't 're-loading'! some have claimed that they are 'bulk lot' carts, but are actually reloaded! Fair enough warning. Bill |

The color and black/white cartridges typically last six months, but if I print out a lot of photos or my wife's quilt group newsletter (at least ten pages every month) it may be less than If I guess 50 pages a month ... that's 300 pages per set - so ONE starter set of toner carts would last you about 10 sets of carts [3000 pages]! That's $470, more than enough for a colour laser complete with carts and quite some additional to spare towards a set of replacement carts, those at 5,000 pages! Will one toner cartridge really last five years or more? that. The tripack really doesn't work for me as I seem to use up both cartridges at about the same time. See if there's a setting to use 'less black' when printing colour. Canon has this, but ??? on yours. Yes, there is, sort of. It's "print quality" and offers fast draft, fast normal, normal, best, and maximum dpi. I use fast normal for most of my printing, normal for letters and other documents, and best for photographs. "Fast draft" is not a good setting. Besides the very light gray output the printer spits out multipage documents onto the floor with this setting! You should be able to buy just a 'Black', perhaps in a two-pack! Typically I buy a two-pack of each cartridge. It may not happen with yours, but a friend has an HP inkjunk that 'reports' the carts are empty [usually colour] when there's enough for about 20 pages! She now knows how to 'reset' the printer and get full life. Yes, the final print may be ruined, but ... it's just a sheet of paper lost - she's gained the additional printed pages! I'm well aware of this. I get a popup notification that the print level is low, but I can keep printing for many more pages (again, I don't count pages) until a page comes out with washed-out printing. I buy my HP cartridges from either Staples or Costco, depending on who has the best deal at the time. Check on line - there are better deals with genuine HP carts. Both those stores are quite high in our area. Both stores offer specials often enough that the cost is comparable to online prices. BTW, be careful that the 'affiliates' aren't 're-loading'! some have claimed that they are 'bulk lot' carts, but are actually reloaded! Fair enough warning. Bill |
