Printer Ink

I occasionally read Smart Money in an effort to change my wanton ways in spending. LOL

July 2009 issue has a great article on page 86; Printer Ink's Murky Math by Anne Kadet.

It talks about how we buy the cheaper printer, but we end up spending three times that printer's cost in ink within three years of purchase. HP takes a big hit when you buy the printer, but they make millions off of the ink sales to make up for it. Anne says that Kodak is probably one of the most economical, despite the actual printer being a little more pricey.

That almost makes me mad enough to throw my printer out the window and buy a nicer one.

Would you like to save now, or later?
