My question to you is: Where do you purchase your printer ink online?

Thank you for your time.

I have the same problem for my Lexmark printer. Both the black and white and the color are $25 bucks a piece!

Wish I could get my ink at Costco --- the one closest to m doesn't even carry Lexmark ink. They carry pretty much all the other brands but not Lexmark.

I purchase online. Think the name is Ink.com. Located in California. Will look up web address. Last time I ordered was less than five dollars per color.

It comes in a combo for $27.?? at Walmart. My old HP ran close to $60. for combo...Like it so far. It can be wireless also but have to have a router for that. I use the USB cable..

We are goig to go this way also as soon as the ink I have right now is gone. Will have to buy the Kodak printer for $80 but will quickly make up that cost. We checked and the number of pages the cartridge for the Kodak will print for $9 is higher the the cartridge for our current over $20 one.

Well, I was totally incorrect about name and location for ordering ink jet. It is Printpal in Oregon. When I order, normally get several cartridges. I have a canon printer, but they have supplies for multiple printers.
http://www.printpal.com/ Never had problems

Staples where I get rewards, or CVS where I use my extra care bucks. Or, rarely, from HP direct when they send me a good offer with free shipping.

BTW I always use "fast draft" - it prints just as well and uses a lot less ink.

I have one color and one B and White, one from WM and the other Walgreens. Neither if them have any ink in them. I have had this happen twice. I wish we could see level of ink. They were for my HP and both were too expensive.

I purchase mine from Quill.com. I am on their mailing list and receive a coupon about once a month for $20.00 off if I purchase $100.00. I have been unsuccessful with the remanufactured/refilled cartridges and it actually ruined my last printer. Their prices are the best I have been able to find.

Don't laugh but I just buy a new printer. Its usually cheaper than buying new ink !!!

In last Sunday's paper there was a paper bag in the ads from Office Max. Well, I threw it away and then yesterday I was driving and drove past an Office Max store and realized that I had purchased printer cartridges there before! Their prices were comparable to WalMarts...and to think I threw out the bag which would have allowed me to get 15% off anything I could put in the bag! I also purchased them at CVS Pharmacy once and it was within 50cents of Walmart's price.

I also can't believe that Walmart doesn't carry the $10.97 black cartridge any longer!
