Yesterday I ordered a pack of 5 ink cartridges for a HP deskjet all-in-one printer. They are now on their way from Sydney to me in Western Australia, freight free, costing only $15.90 AUD. In an Australia-wide company, OfficeWorks, the price is $112.00. The OfficeWorks package is a genuine HP product in a nice cardboard box. Mine will come in a plastic bag wrapped in bubblewrap, delivered to my door.
The printer manufacturers caution printer owners not to buy cheap inks as that is where their profits really come from. Most genuine inks cost more than a new printer. Another bit of trickery is the fact that most new printers have half filled cartridges in them.
