For me, it has to be a balance between economy and print quality - there's not much point buying a printer which costs as much to replace the cartridges as the printer itself. You might as well flog the old printer on Ebay and get a new printer complete with cartridges!  |
You have to bear in mind that most printers these days (including HP) come with cartridges that are only half full. In the case of the HP PSC1205 the printer may cost £49.99 at Argos and the black and colour multipack
£41.90 but these cartridges will last twice as long so you would have to pay £99.98 to get the same amount of ink.
