Another thing to consider is the cost of replacement cartridges. Cartridge Warehouse at 317 Adelaide St S # 102 gave me the best price to refill my HP Laserjet cartridge for $50 ($99 new). I just bought the HP1012 printer last month. The cartridges are relatively new but the guy at the above business refills them on-site. Other options included mailing it to Toronto to re-fill for $75 include shipping. -- Theresa Roth 10998 Longwoods Rd Delaware ON N0L1E0 519-878-3632 theresaroth@xxxxxxxxxxxx Rob Vanhooren > eek! correction: Canons are dye-based as well. oops. my bad. sorry. > > *grumble* *grumble* ;-) > > R. > > On Friday, February 13, 2004, at 12:51PM, Tee Cashmore > <tee.cashmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> >Rob Vanhooren wrote: >> > >>> >>One thing to note if you're looking at a new printer: the Canon/Epson uses >>> a different type of ink than HP.
