I’ve just had to buy a new cartridge for our printer, as wife has a few pages to print

£53.99, at Curry’s!!

That’s over £3,000/litre
(18ml)
It makes the present cost of diesel seem cheap!

I really like my HP Instant Ink printer. I can increase or decrease my monthly subscription depending on usage. Ink cartridges arrive when needed and the used cartridges can be returned at no cost for recycling.

Ink tank printers beat everything else on price per page. A full set of original bottles for my Epson (not that I will need it for years) is £37 from them, or as little as £23 from others. Third party options at half that price. Given the BS all the printer manufacturers are pushing trying to lock out refilled and third-party supplies, and the price of original cartridges, I'm very happy with my choice (though if it had not broken, I would be still using my 2002 vintage HP Deskjet 959- no problems getting cheap cartridges for that). It's not just inkjets either. A couple of members of my Apple user group bought Xerox colour lasers (rebadged Lexmarks). Cheapest replacement toner option is to buy a new printer.....
