    Today I went shopping and on my list was to buy ink for my HP printer/scanner/copier.

    Well I saved a couple of quid by buying a new p/s/c.

    I have done that twice. Its a sad state of affairs when the copier itself is cheaper than the ink to fill it.

    There's actually a reason for this........

    The ink that comes with the new P/S/C's usually do not have the same lifespan as the refills. Some however, are the full cartridges. I think CNet.com had a bit about that somewhere.

    I did make sure that the ink for the new deskjet was cheaper to replace than my old model (and I took that into account with the savings).

    I also noticed that boxes are labelled differently. The one I bought had the ink cartridges numbers on the icons on the box of contents whereas others indicated number of compatibility. Both HPs. I'm going to assume the one with numbered icon is the full cartridge and is the one I bought. Logic? Otherwise false advertising and they could get into trouble with the Trading Standards Authority. But thanks for bringing that up Paul for I wouldn't have known or made the connection.

    If you have a Costco (not you Michelle ) near you - if you bring in your HP cartridges they will refill for $10 bucks in about a minute.
