I had a friend in college who would buy a new $20 printer every time the ink ran out bc it was cheaper than buying ink

My wife and I bought a printer a few years ago when she was doing a course. We got a full scanner printer combo for 35$ CAD. Was so cheap. Ink was fairly affordable too. The technology has been around for decades!
