Just like all the others I was amazed at the print quality of this printer but I was angry that the ink was so expensive. One color cartridge causes problems if you use a lot of one color, say red at christmas time!
If you run out of one color the whole cartridge must be replaced. I also discovered that the best quality paper make the best prints.

Then I discovered the magic of Froogle at hte Google site.

Now I purchase generic ink for less than $3/cartridge.
For paper use Epson S041257 ,recently paid $5 for 50 sheets.
