Printer manufacturers are ripping off consumers by overcharging for printer cartridges, according to a study by the Consumer Association's Which? magazine. Which? slams the cost of printer ink. A Colour HP cartridge, for example costs £29 or (put another way) 1.70 per millilitre. That's seven times more expensive than the cost of vintage champagne, it points out. A 1985 Dom Perignon costs 23p per millilitre. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/07/04/printer_ink_seven_times_more/

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.
