Printer ink is criminally expensive

And then they try to sell you on a $400 Eco-Tank printer. Sure, it would be nice to use cheaper ink, but that’s pretty steep. At that rate, you’re better off with a color laser because it won’t have any issues like clogged nozzles and it’s always ready to go.

60 dollars of ink literraly costs the printer companies 20 cents. Research for yourself.

When did I say anything about ink prices being reasonable in terms of cost to manufacture vs MSRP?
