Again if you have a cheap printer and buy the manufacturer's cartridges then it's usually just as cheap to buy a printer that comes with the trial cartridges and when they run out buy another cheap printer. I buy my cartridges off Ebay and they come in packs of 6 or more full sets. These are refilled by various vendors. I just go for the cheapest I can find. I have been doing this for twenty years or more. I even used to fill my own a long time ago but that was a very very messy job. So far I haven't had any problems with refilled cartridges. Printer manufacturers have tried and tried to stop this trade but so far they have failed. No doubt they will succeed at some point and then I will either give up printing or fill my own. The secret is to keep printing and also do not forget that every printer, no matter who makes it, has built in obsolescence. Epsons, for instance, will stop printing when the waste ink pads are full or when a certain number of sheets of paper have passed through the printer. You then get a box that says you need to take your printer to an authorised repair center, or words to that effect. Again it isn't worth it just buy a new printer it will be cheaper. You tube is an excellent source of info on how to "repair" printers if you actually want the hassle and the enthusiasm to deal with the mess inside the box.
Oh and just for info printer manufacturers do not make money selling printers. they make money selling cartridges.
