Well yes it's like the original marketing plan for razor blades, but if you search around one can get pretty good deals on ink. I've also found that if I'm printing 8x10 and up my costs per print is pretty much the same or better than going to a good lab, with about equal results. On 4/17/201

Ann, I have no reviews, and I'm virtually never one to stand between someone and spending their money on a new toy but, frankly, I'm not sold on the economics of purchasing large format printers. Unless something has changed recently, inkjet printers are a Royal Pain the Ass. Of course, it depends
