Ed, It is not a coincidence that printers are priced very low. The goal of the companies is to sell *ink cartridges*. Few people consider the price of ink when purchasing a printer. Each company, by selling their product secure a steady income in accessories such as ink cartridges. Welcome to the wonderful world of capitalism. Joseph Codispoti ClearSight USA P.O.
