since the topic is up on the question of used fixer, i think it's also worth considering how unsustainable the "disposable" inkjet printers can be -- i see them in the trash all the time, and along with the low-capacity multi-ink cartridges they seem significant to the waste stream; i recommend using a service or getting a better printer and convincing yourself that you're doing it for quality control
HP ink cartridges all come with a free return mailer so they go back to HP and get recycled. I bundle up all Epson ink cart empties and they go to the recycle center whenever my "electronics and plastics" recycle box gets full.
There's no accounting the difference in print quality between what I can get from a cheap print service and what the R2400 produces. But that's a $700 printer, not a $100 printer. At 1000 A3s per year, average cost of $2.85 per print in materials and now around 4000 prints down, the printer has cost about $0.17 additional per print. $3 production cost for the quality I'm getting out of the R2400 is quite reasonable.
