then go to the copy shop, you can print for about 5cent
There are refillable cartridges, and refill bottles. I
doubt that they can
dry up. My old HP cartridges dried up because they sat in a storage space
for a couple years. These won't dry up (at least, not so fast), because I
will use them now.
This is BS. Just compare cartridge price/printer price for ink and you'll
see that in 2 years you spent more on cartridges
I'm only asking if anybody else has tried these
refillables. I don't want
advice that I *ought* to buy a laser printer, when I cannot do so.
Yes, they are complete BS - forget it!
Alternative could be dot matrix printer (it is a bit noisy), higher price,
but low material cost. I bought one in 1996 and it is still working.
I bought HP 5L LJ in 1999 and I threw it away last year - it was not worth
repearing. I bought two cartridges for €70,- each - makes 7€ per year for
the cartridge. Just calculate total cost + material cost per intended
period of use. You'll notice that prices have gone high in the past year,
but most people can not calculate any way.
I now bought a HP 402dn which prints 40 times faster than the 5L and cost
200,-. The cartridge would cost 100,- in 5-10y, so I guess I will have avg.
cost of 30,- per year - this is definitely not much. There are also cheaper
LJ printers, but I like HP and can write it off anyway.
If you don't have money - earn money and buy something good instead a cheap
sh*t that will give you headache - or just leave it.
