Printers and Ink Cartridges
« on: January 11, 2010, 10:39:24 PM »
I'm looking for an expensive way to do a lot of printing.  Anyone on this board have a suggestion as to the best way to do this given how expensive ink cartridges are?
Thought I'd ask here before spending time researching this.
I've got a canon printer but the cartridges aren't the kind that I can refill myself.

I don't know who makes the most expensive ink cartridges. I usually look for cheap ones.

(I presume you meant to ask about cheap printing?) I have a HP printer that does great photos but has really expensive cartriges. Maybe check around for the most pages printed for the cheapest refillable cartrige. The cost of the printer is small compared to the cost of the cartriges for a big job.

oops~
yes, I meant the least expensive.
I heard awhile ago of some folks refilling their own cartridges, but not sure the manufactures of cartridges are still "allowing" this

I know you can load your image(s)/document onto a memory stick and take it to OfficeMax. They can plug it in and run copies on the machines behind the counter. They charged me .49 cents for a double sided color copy.
