We bought an HP printer for about $150.00. The ink cartridges are about $50.00 for all the colors plus the black, as it has one for each of the colors. I buy them from the HP website because I bought some at Costco and the colored ones fit, but not the black! I have tried other places over the years and have not had good luck, usually they don't work and are just a waste of money. I never get around to sending them back, I'd rather be sewing!
