Are New Printers Really Cheaper Than Ink?

Recently a shopper in the US shared a shopping expedition. The objective? Find new ink for the printer! The conclusion? It makes sense to actually buy a new printer, rather than pay more for ink cartridges!

For those who can’t see the pic above, here’s a transcript:

  • I went to buy some black ink for my printer today…
  • Then I realized that it would be cheaper to just buy a new printer that already came with black and color ink… (picture of Canon PIXMA iP2600 costing $30)
  • Then I decided to see how much ink for the new printer would cost… (picture of black and color cartridges of aforementioned printer costing $37.94 total)
  • then I remembered why I have 3 other printers sitting at home without ink…
  • …It’s cheaper to buy a new printer than to buy new ink.

Is this true where you live, dear readers?
