Cheaper to buy a new one than more ink. Fucking extortionate.

    Yeah but the cartridges that come with a new printer are usually only 1/3 full. As another guy said, get a printer that uses toner. They're more expensive (because you're actually paying for the printer) but you don't have to worry about ink drying out because it's toner, it's supposed to be dry.

    Inkjet printers are basically a scam, if you don't print all that often, the ink will probably be dried up when you go to use it, and if you print frequently, it'll be cheaper to have a laser printer that uses toner in terms of per page cost.

    Refillable inkjets are starting to become a thing. Cool thing about those is that they're often smaller than a color laser.

    Given that I don't print very often these days. I like having a small printer that I can chuck in a drawer or a closet during the 360 days of the year that I don't need it.
