Yes, they cost more up front, but you get more pages-per-cartridge that brings the cost down. Inkjet printers use the old "razor blade" method of pricing--sell the printer (razor) cheaply, make the refill specific to that model, and then sell the refills at a high markup. I know some people stretch this out with refilling inkjet carts, but I've had mixed results with that--quality as well as once killing a printer with bad ink. When I need color printing say when I officiate at a wedding and print up the couple's keepsake marriage certificat, it's been cheaper for me to go over to FedEx/Kinko's and run off a couple of copies on their printers. Better quality than I've seen from home printers too.
