Hi Marcia!! I don't like paying the high prices but I always get the color as well as black and white cartridges. We use our printer quite often and need the color or I would stick to just black and white to save some money.

I never thought about buying just the Black and White? I do like color too, because I like to print Photos.

I have a Cannon laser printer, it is black and white, so all I have to buy is toner. I do not like color printers, they are of no use in the household.

We have one of those printers where you take the catridges into the retailer and pay just for the ink. They also do the refilling for you, so no mess on your hands, only on theirs! Our printer doesn't get used that much these days, but I'm hoping to change that soon.

Hi Marcia-I have a printer for my computer but it isn't working not only that I've put new ink cartidges in the printer and it still won't print properly it really does annoy me and yes the cartridges are more expensive than the printer which I think is very unfair-you friend littleowl

Hi Marcia think I will get a new one they are fairly cheap over here and you can even get a scanner with them it is totally unfair though that the cartridges are so much more than the printer cos after a couple of buying new ones you have pratically paid more than the printer!! your friend littleowl

I have a printer, my momma was nice and gave me hers. The ink is very expensive, and it doesn't last long. I buy my ink online from 123 inkjets, its a lot cheaper buying it that way.

Just like you, I have a printer but I cn't use it because I need to buy ink cartidges for it. I not really sure about it because I have not try the refill and the cartidges is expensive. So I prefer not to buy it unless I really need it.

Yes, those Cartidges are very expensive. I pay over $30.00 bucks everytime I buy new ones.

That'a about the price I paid for mine the first time, that's why I'm giving it a pass.

It's good to just get the refills of ink for you but it's better you're the one who's refilling it. You'll save more.

I currently have 2 HP printers, one is a scanner/copier/printer and the other one is a normal printer (I only refill it with black ink), and the multi one prints in color... I refill my cartidges 2 or 3 times, then buy another ones o_o

I have a printer and I use those ink refill kits. I use a refill kit for 2 or 3 times, then I buy new, and repeat the sequence. If you use a refill kit, you have to remember that the ink pads will deteriorate, and that's why I only will use the refill a couple of times and then buy new replacement cartridges. Otherwise it can mess up the printer. Unfortunately, not every printer will accept using the toner kit, mine's a Canon and it works quite well. I know I've saved a bundle doing it this way!

I do not do that much printing on my computer. When I do I like to make sure that my ink is good. I buy new cartridges when I need them.

I have an old printer, Panasonic kxp1121 which is using ribbon in black. I bought it eleven years back. It is quite important for me as the nature of my work needs much printing. I seldom use the other printer as the colored ink cartridges are quite expensive.
