If you’re thinking about buying an inkjet printer for printing photos the most important thing to consider is not the price of the printer but the price of the printer ink cartridges. Printer manufacturers rarely make profits on the sale of their mid range and entry level printers, this is in order to sell the printer as cheap as possible so people buy them and then make the profit back from sales of replacement ink cartridges. Prices of printers don’t always reflect the cost of the replacement inks and this is why it’s always best to check the price of the ink cartridges for the printer you are thinking of buying before actually committing to the purchase. The best place to check prices of ink is the internet as it requires no leg work and finding the correct ink cartridges for a printer can be quite difficult if you don’t know what you’re looking for. On the internet it’s easy because if you do a search like ink for Epson Stylus R285 the each engine will find specific pages on sites that sell Epson ink cartridges for that printer. Also check to see if there are cheaper alternative cartridges avaible for the printer you are considering purchasing. Compatible ink cartridges can cost up to 75% cheaper than the genuine branded inks with very little difference in print results. If you follow these guide lines you won’t be left with a printer that you can’t afford to run which is what a lot of people have found in recent years.
