I have HP printers and love them but yes, the ink for all printers can be expensive. I go to a place here called Rapid Refill to get them; they are less than half price. I work at a hospital and we've used them for yrs without any problems so I knew they were good. I work in the IT dept so I know we've had good luck with them. They guarantee their products without fail. Oh, and the thing that if you use a filled toner it invalidates your warranty; that's not true and illegal. But no matter what, Rapid Refill will honor it if there is a problem which is good because after a few yrs there isn't a warranty any ways.
