Does your printer use too much ink? Mine does.

I used to have an canon printer and the ink used to last forever. When it packed in I bought an epsom one and I cannot hold out to the ink in it. I have bought compatible cartridges which are cheaper, but the ink is everywhere and has stained my table top and my fingers. It is so annoying changing them every week. I was going to buy another printer. Does anyone reccommend a good one?

my printer does not take too much ink. I have a HP laser jet. I change my cartridge very rarely. However, I do use it quite often. I know Im giving subjective answers here. Am wondering how to quantify it. At an average, I print 2-3 packs of paper and change my cartridge once. That should be fair enough I guess

I recommend Brother printers. I have the MFC465CN model. The good thing is that cheaper knock off ink is available and you only need to replace the black, yellow, cyan or magenta cartridge that has run out. The bad news is that once one cartridge runs out, you need to replace it before you can print again. Ink doesn't run out quickly though (average 500 pages per cartridge).

Yes if you print all the time. Those cartiriges cost a lot. I need to get Color and Black and white, I think I will get some Friday. Have a good day!

My printer uses a lot of ink, too. I am using HP Deskjet F2100 series. The printer is not very expensive but I have to buy a new cartridge after printing not more than 200 pages. One cartridge costs around RM40 and this is expensive!
I think after this I am going to seek the advice from a computer technician which is also a friend of mine and my husband. I think he knows where to buy a refill cartridge container. I think it is much cheaper and practical to use.
