Hi Catherine, This is all part of the manufacturer's ploy to promote the real money selling consumables. It's not so long ago I saw a colour Lexmark printer in PC World for =C2=A347.99. Beside it was a basket of ink cartridges, and a big notice inviting one to make sure you have spare ink. Black and white ones cost =C2=A319.99 and colour ones were =C2=A329.99. I'll let you do the arithmetic on that one.
