Coworker used to do that with an Epson printer. He got a discount to buy the printers and they came out to the same cost as a replacement cartridge. Then he sold the printers on Fleabay for like $20 to recoup some of the costs.

If anyone is a Costco member, they have a very inexpensive refill program. I believe it runs under 7.99 to 9.99 per cartridge.

I'm dumping the HP because of the expiring dated ink cartridges (will NEVER buy an HP printer again because of the Dated ink) and will get another Epson, most likely an Artisan 800 series which will take a continuous ink supply. I liked my Epson r220 printer with an aftermarket CIS so much I bought a second r220 (NIB on CL $100) that sits new in the box waiting for the first one to die.
I am hoping to find away around the expiration date but these are all trash right now (already tossed a brand new black cartridge because the machine wouldn't print or copy because of the dates)
