Prints just the same as the Epson ones. obvious child Posted at 7:26 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 I'm not so sure this is quite so valid today. I can get 42ml for $30 from HP new. Lulu Nobody Posted at 7:23 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 I had an old guy come through my register to buy ink for his printer, it ran him fucking $71. For two cartridges. It's fucking ridiculous.
