Actually, I think the cheaper-end Dell printers that they usually
include as "free" with their systems have inks that cost more than the
printer were to cost if you bought it outright. I can definitely see
going out and just buying a new printer when the ink goes. hehe.
They need to make all ink, in general, more affordable. These cartridges
are pricey (non-generic ones, I mean). HP's especially.
