I had an HP ink jet printer. If, you check your cost per page
in black and white it is posted at around thirteen cents and that I believe is in draft mode. I used to use mine regularly.
since we retired we used it far less than before. At less use,
it actually uses more ink. They use the ink priced similar to gold to clean the head. There are instructions on the internet explaining how to remove and clean the head.
Even the instructions say it rarely works. If, I recall the xl cartidges are like $27 each. So replacing the five is roughly $125. The head, assuming you need a new one is listed on line for ?????? about $75.
I do not really need to print color. I just bought a Samsung
lazar printer and scanner from Best buy M2070FW cost was
$149 new not refurbished. We've had it for about two months and it has been fine. Cost per print is listed at TWO CENTS a page. Typical of most of these items, they probably sell them at a loss, my HP was $99, but, they make a fortune on the INK. I expect I had put 700 to 1,000 in ink into a printer that I paid $99 for. Oh a big plus for me. The ink jet prints run if you get them wet. The lazar does not.
