Doesn’t it just burn your butt when you go to the store to buy printer cartridges for your printer?!? A full set of color ink cartridges for my HP Photosmart C5180 All-In-One
costs a quarter of the price of the printer itself! That’s just plain crazy!
Each of the 5 colors that I need costs about $9.99. You could buy a color combo pack for $35.99 that has all five colors and prints about 150 photos. But if you want enough ink to print a lot of documents, or heaven-forbid more than 150 photos, you “should” get the combo pack with larger quatities of ink for $44.99. (Oh… You didn’t know that the cartridges come with different quatities of ink either?) Only some of the HP packages tell you how much ink is actually in the cartridges. In the larger combo pack, the color cartridges have about 3.0 ml of ink. (Whatever that means.)
So I just stood in the store trying to figure out if it was even worth buying the cartridges. Finally an associate directed me to some store brand remanufactured cartridges that were only $40.99 for the color combo pack. Each of those cartridges contained about 7.0 ml of ink. NOW we were getting somewhere, but I still didn’t want to pay that much money.
Compare that to the color cartridges at 123Inkjets.com.
Their compatible color printer cartridges hold between 7 and 12 ml of ink for only $6.50 each. More ink. Less money. Imagine that.
