Ink cartridges are expensive but i learned a lesson the expensive way. I thought I would save some $$ so I bought an office supply house brand cartridge. They did not fit properly and it ruined /bent the printer wires. It was an all in one printer that we paid 199$ for and I ended up tossing it.
I buy online, from Staples. Free delivery and my order is on my front porch the NEXT day! They have great coupons too. I figure that I save gas $$ by not driving the 45 minutes each way to the nearest one.
I will not mess will refilling my own cartridges and I stick with the proper name brand ink. Peace of mind.
