| 607526 | 2007-11-02 05:09:00 | Ink prices are steep, especially if you look at what a commercial printer buys ink for. Black $18 a kilo CMY about $22 a kilo | plod (107) | ||
| 607527 | 2007-11-02 05:13:00 | Well, that commercial ink may be cheap, but the Inkjet stuff has got the water already added. Look in your icily friendly yuppie shop to see what designer water costs. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 607529 | 2007-11-02 05:25:00 | Harvey Norman and other places will do 6x4 prints for around 29c per photo. I know that, usually the more that you get done the cheaper it is. I take many hundreds of photos a year, a hangover from my black & white and colour photography and printing days. Having done semi professional work for some years, I am super critical and probably only print 20 or 30 a year that I really like. Mrs kenj adds a similar amount so our needs are fairly small. I am also highly critical of most of the bulk processing done by retailers. The dye sublimation process that the Sony printer uses has an extremely long life compared to inkjet, so I have read somewhere? Hence my comments. Ken |

| 607530 | 2007-11-02 05:30:00 | So? Dont buy from big brand shops. Go to Cartridge World or an online shop. Ink has always been expensive (after dot matrix printers got finished I mean) | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 607531 | 2007-11-02 06:06:00 | Great guys ! In actual fact I do go to Cartridge world and black cartridge is $ 20.00 and colour $ 25.00 (I think) and there is more ink in them than the HP ones ! But my point is still valid. I also have a Brother Laser HL 2040 which has lasted me nearly a whole year on its original cartridge ! I would recommend anyone who does a bit of printing to get one of each laser and inkjet Regards Digby |
