Well The ink has had a steady increase over the last two years. I do buy the XL version and multiple packs for saving but at 190.00 plus taxes Puts it over the top I maybe switching to a laser printer when this one breaks. The amount of money spent on Ink I could have replaced my printer twice
This is the first time I have seen such a 5 pack ink cartridge set and it is b=very handy. I do most of my printing in black and so always drain black before any of the colors. This way it looks like the set will be more in sync for replacement. Great idea!!
