i just ordered from http://www.123inkjets.com/ and paid about $25 for one black and one color cartridge. there was a free shipping offer at the time. my printer takes #60 cartridges.

I buy mine in a combo pack at Office Depot...about $50.00 plus. Although lots of time they are out of stock. I will then buy them individually. One time, I checked and I could buy both individually cheaper than in a combo...go figure on that one. I usually use my Office Depot Rewards to buy my ink cartridges since none of their coupons apply to them. I also recycle my old cartridges and get a $3 credit for each one.

I buy the refill kit at Staples for $20 (black) and $22(colour) and fill my own. They each have three small bottles of ink and I can refill using the provided syringe eight to ten times. It's definately a time saver but use the diagram to fill the colour cartridge or you may get green ink!

My refills cost more than that. And I've never had any luck with the refills. I just run the cartridges until I get blank paper and then I "bite the bullet" and go buy them. Usually at Staples. I just don't understand why they have to be so expensive. Is some part of them made of gold??? :hunf:

Have found that Ace Hardware here in Jax Fl. is least expensive for refills.

I order from these online links. Sometimes they offer free shipping and you receive the ink a couple days after you order it. They are very prompt!

I usually buy mine at Walmart.

This is a little off topic, but to save on ink, when in the print dialog box, click on "Properties" button. I can change the print quality to "Fast Draft". Great when you don't need a "good" copy, and uses less ink!

That's the one my school teacher daughter gets hers from. I did for a while but when I need it I want it now, so go to Staples, which is less than $30 for both black and color. Mine takes 74 and 75 inks.

That's what I do too. It has saved me a lot.
