You could purchase a printer for $25.00. It was then cheaper to purchase a NEW printer than a set of cartridges!
I went to Amazon and got a set of refillable ones and a years worth of ink for less than one (1) set of branded ones!!!

Yes, once every few days or so I get a note that, "You are not using authentic XXXXX cartridges, do you want to continue". I say yes and am happy!
