My printer costs Rs 2500.A new catridge costs Rs 900.Each catridge prints only 100 pages.The company makes printers in such a way that only their own catridges can be used.This is cwlled the Razor and Blade model.They make a lot of their profit this way.
To bypass this,buy any off brand bottle of ink.Each bottle costs Rs 100 and can print 1500 pages(approx).Inject the ink into the old cartridge.You will need a syringe and needle and nothing more.Look up the process on youtube,it is fairly easy.You can now refill your old cartridge as many times you need.
I have saved about 20,000Rs in this way over the years. Note,when you insert the refilled catridge for the first time,the printer app will ask a yes/no question regarding warrenty.It is a trick question.Google it before answering.If the wrong answer is chosen,the printer may stop working.
Also,the money values are in Indian Rupees.But the same thing is applicable if you buy a printer in any other country as well.
