If you pay �500 for a printer then you pay more per ml for inks. Thats the crazy economics we operate in and buyers should be aware of this when buying the printer. There is no free lunch. We pay �43 per 220ml on a 9600 printer which I guess is a lot cheaper than the same ml of inks in a smaller printer. It can be got cheaper. I believe the price is higher in the US. The constant drive for low prices means exporting jobs to third world countries. I would rather pay more & keep the jobs here. Or would you all like to work for WalMart at the minimum wage? Please do not think you're immune to this. I've just shot some leisurewear (don't you love that word) for packaging for goods being made and packaged with label in India. Nothing unusual there until I found that the Indian manufacturer is being made to pay design & photography costs himself. You don't have to be clever to realise that next time he will have the job shot in India. Ewan MacColl sang a song about hanging on to your job with a good strong grip. Damn good advise.
