I have just bought a LASER printer - black only - for A29.98 or UKP20.414 or USD30.889
 
I also bought an Epson Artisan 730 that has just been discontinued for AUD149.00 or UKP101.55 or USD153.67

It is one of the better printers around and carries 6 cartridges.

But, I am ordering my fourth CISS. Continual Ink System Supply.

If I buy sixX100ml bottles of 'pigment ink' they will cost me AUD167.00

Dye inks will cost AUD70.00 for 6X100ml.

A set of Epson ink cartridges is AUD132.00 and contain around 15ml of ink.

BTW when you buy a CISS system there is around 40 or 50 ml in each container. 

No contest.


ooroo
