        If the cartridge is refillable, then you can buy cheap, generic ink and kit from eBay and do it yourself. Not all cartridges are refillable though. Need to do some Google.

          Worth mentioning some of these 'highly economical/cheap' printers come with starter cartridges and in the case of Epson/Canon, an amount is used to prime the ink into the system so on face value buying a new cartridge rather than a new printer will actually give you more print outs per $ you spend. HP uses integrated printhead in the cartridge so I do not believe this model uses any priming - which has its own pros and cons. There are videos on youtube how to refill cartridges this uses (from memory)

      • Boioioioi on 02/01/2020 - 13:44

        Find someone who does ink cartridge refills. $5 per cartridge. Or get a kit to do it yourself. I bought one for $30 back in 2016. Still using it.

    Not negging, but I don't like how this printer (which includes ink) is roughly half the price of a new ink cartridge. Encourages people to replace the entire printer with a new printer, which is a waste of Earth's resources.

    • Hybroid on 02/01/2020 - 14:17
      +2

      The included ink is always a sample and not a full ink unit. Having said that, inkjets, by design, are an intentional waste of resources.

      • digitalaxon on 04/01/2020 - 00:42

        I bought an Epson Ecotank printer a little under a year ago, and that by design is made to cost less to run/print. Sure the upfront cost is much higher (as the company no longer makes profit and recovers equipment manufacture costs on the ink) but printing costs are 80-90% less than cartridges and you get original manufacturer quality.

        That is assuming you print on a regular basis - if you print once a month a laser is a better fit as many have mentioned.

        Over the life of the printer you could argue that factory enabled refillable inkjets are more economical and environmentally friendly - less waste with no toner cartridges, less power use (no fuser to heat). While the same can be said about CISS retrofit kits, I've had a canon and epson CISS system and its just not as elegant or reliable as the ecotank has been and have had to throw out the printers before their EOL.

        So are they a waste - yes (cheapy ones), and no (higher end units) … Good to see the three main inkjet home companies giving us more options. In the business world, inkjets have a very important role (barcoding/labelling at high speeds) where a laser would not be possible/practical.

    • Calvin27 on 02/01/2020 - 15:04

      OW has an official ewaste take-back policy. Theoretically you could buy a few, keep one and then open the others and take out the ink cartridges and leave the remnants of a printer and box and all at OfficeWorks for ewaste. It would probably stillwork out a lot cheaper than buying a whole new cartridge. My understanding is it actually costs them a bit to do this so maybe they will think twice before stuffing the planet with wasteful practices.

      It is indeed a POS. I have the 3632 and 2130 (latter bought for $15 for the ink). 3632 has failed to print repeatedly (usually after a couple of weeks of no use), requiring hours of troubleshooting and HP wanting "feedback" in their software. It could just be my unit or router but every other connected device works. I want to smash it to pieces but am determined to get my money's worth. Cartridges can be refilled. Whatever you do, don't let them run dry! They will print even if showing empty; apparently a lawsuit forced HP to allow this. (Best inkjet I've had, $9 Dell from years back on ozBargain)

        I rekon their worse for light users. The ink catdriges always clog up after prolonged periods of non-use and you always seem to be running out. Some of the newer stuff won't even print b&w if your colour cartridge is out! Amazing stuff lol.

      • ssquid on 02/01/2020 - 14:24

        They're the opposite for light users because the ink always dries up/artificially expires. A cheap laser is a much better option.

        • auslove on 02/01/2020 - 14:54

            @auslove: annual toner costs for lasers are more than inject ink. Just check out the Choice reviews. Not a lot more, about 50% on average it seems, eg $220 pa for inkjet vs $380 pa for laser.
            But you can get a decent multifunction colour laser printer for about $350. Which I guess is 10x more than this HP, but in the ballpark of higher performing inkjets.

          • Debuting on 02/01/2020 - 18:37

            @Gerry H: Sigh. Looks like you haven't heard much about colour laser printers and how old toner can affect print quality.

            I've been using laser printers for over a decade due to the faster print times, but every 2-3 years you need to replace the toners because it won't pick it up. The toner basically expires and you'll experience ghosting and black lines across the page. What's worse is you cannot just change the toner. You need to clean the drum, rollers with isopropyl alcohol to ensure that all that old toner is removed.

            Basically if you like to throw away $100 every year then colour lasers are good for low use scenarios. It's actually better to take your documents to print at Officeworks or a print shop to be honest. With laser you'll not get the same quality either, so it's a double whammy. Bad prints and the printer becomes useless after a few years.

    for those questioning new printer vs new cartridge costs - New printers do not come with a full cartridge, they are generally about half full.

      That's exactly when it reminds me of the shaving razors and blades theory (or blood glucose monitors and strips, in fact).

      It's compatible with wired, wireless, AirPrint and mobile printing capabilities

      It has no paper storage compartment, just an input tray loading at the top.

    Brilliant! Comes in handy those time suddenly need to copy or scan a page. Doesn't hurt that it can print too!
