Well, it's the same business model that Gillette uses - sell razors for cheap (100 bucks with cartridge) and make money on the cartridge (proprietary loading mechanism - nice touch, no?) which sell for around 90 bucks each. From what I heard so far, the cheapest way to operate printers is to buy a black & white laser printer (and *never* a color/deskjet) and use after-market refills. If you void warranty, don't worry about it, your printer has almost negligible resale value with an empty cartridge any way. Just consider that your investment in a printer has 100% depreciation :) Vamsee. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
