Ever wonder...

Why inkjet printers are so cheap?

Answer:
by Pendragon...

The reason is that the companies who manufacture and sell them intended from the very beginning to hook you with a cheap printer and then rip you off, hopefully for years, with incredibly expensive consumable ink cartridges which they also sell. The marketing plan they have adopted is that they will produce inkjet printers that are as good as they can produce and sell them at cost or even below cost to hook consumers on the special proprietary inkjet cartridges that are consumed in those printers.

I would never buy an inkjet unless I only had a few dollars to spend on a printer. In the event I did purchase an inkjet printer, I would use remanufactured cartridges. Look at any of the laser printer models from HP or Xerox as an alternative. In fact, alot of the new color laser machines are under $500.
