| 1282644 | 2012-06-19 05:13:00 | www.consumables.co.nz Thanks All up approx. $ 15.- cheaper than what I paid. Still, I have to get used to it and have possibly to charge more for prints to clients. |

| 1282645 | 2012-06-19 06:24:00 | this is quite common. one company sells a printer for $99 and the ink for $150. I always recommend a B/W laser, most people don't print in color. color ink jet costs about 0.10c per page. laser is about 0.04c per page. but wait he says, I print photos sometimes.... yep, take the files to a photo shop, better quality, longer lasting, and @ 0.50c a print that's 200 photos for the cost of brothers ink. Correct, all of it! |

| 1282647 | 2012-06-20 09:49:00 | I buy LC39 after market carts on ebay for less than $2.00 ea freight included, out of China. I wouldn't recommend them for photo printing, but great to be able to print anything you want without worrying what it will cost. LC73s are are probably nearer $3 in 10 quantity - here's the seller I use: stores.ebay.com.au | wuppo (41) | ||
| 1282648 | 2012-06-20 12:49:00 | Not long to go and we rather dispose of the printer and empty cartridges and buy a whole new set. Makes sense:D If you don't want it, I'll take it. I want something that can scan A3 pages :p Couldn't give a toss about the printing side. |

| 1282649 | 2012-06-20 17:47:00 | If you don't want it, I'll take it.... Its not about wanting it or not. I need it for work. The printer was cheap and I just have to make sure I charge enough for prints. And, the A3 scanner is very handy. |
