"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 1|1|I have an HP deskjet 3820 that I'm happy with (m)|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|09:17:21|06/28/2009|
Got it at a garage sale for $10 a couple yrs. ago. HP no longer makes them tho as there was some kind of defect w/the cartridge carriers in certain batches of them, so it was hit/miss if you got a bad one or not. Fortunately, this 2nd one has been a hit. ;) I had another 3820 prior to this one that I'd bought new & it did go kaput after about a year. Probably the 1 time HP made a serious "oops" in their printers. The ink cost about $34.99 for black & $38.99 for color at Walmart but it lasts & lasts forever, & I print ALOT. Walmart no longer carries these cartridges tho so I shopped around & found I could get the OfficeMax brand for about $10 less.
My son uses an HP deskjet D1320. The ink is about $14.99 for black & $17.99 for color. Their smaller in size but also seem to last quite awhile. I'd bought it new & used it myself for awhile after my 1st 3820 went kaput, & really liked it. When I found this 2nd 3820 at the garage sale, I gave the 1320 to my son.
I'm a diehard fan of HP printers, scanners & copiers. I had a Canon printer once but hated it as the ink didn't last very long & would very easily dry up. The print-head also went bad almost immediately & Canon wanted $50 to replace it - more than the printer was even worth. :( The reason I'm a big HP printer fan is because the ink lasts a long time & I've never had a problem w/it drying up, even w/an old 693C that sat for about a year w/NO use! LOL The reason most of HP's ink cartridges are so pricey is because they have built-in print-heads so you're getting a new print-head everytime you replace an ink cartridge, which is also why there's never a problem w/the ink drying up.
Not sure if my rambles (LOL) here are of much help to you, but wanted to share & explain my experiences. ;)

2|2|I have an HP all-in-one now...I agree that in years past, HP was the way to go....never had an ink guzzling HP before, but I think the newer stuff is not up to par with what I used to be able to count on from HP....And the inks are a bit pricey for as little as they last, costs me $35 for a black/color combo pack, but they have only lasted an average of 2-3 months at best. I used to only have to buy ink maybe twice a year with my older HP printers. |saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|09:21:53|06/28/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 3|3|Could it be cuz it's an all-in-1? (m)|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|09:34:18|06/28/2009|
I'm just guessing & maybe it's the "new wave" but I'm hoping I'm wrong cuz yea, I only have to buy ink cartridges for my printer maybe twice a year if that. On average I'd say ink lasts me anywhere from 9 mos. to 13-14 mos. All my hardware is stand alone hardware so my printer, scanner & copier are all individually separate from each other....

4|4|No, I dont think so....I very rarely use the scanner or copier options.....mostly just printing lists, coupons, forms, etc....I print address labels and trade slips every couple months, but will use a graphic without alot of dense coverage to save ink....I think the amount of ink in the cartridges is less than previous models I've used, I dont know....but I have my printer settings to print moderate quality (unless I do print a photo, then I might up the quality a bit) to save ink too...was hoping there is a newer model out there that is decent on ink usage.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|10:24:22|06/28/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 5|1|I buy my ink from here with no problem with the quality|bloobird|bloobird1@comcast.net|10:28:39|06/28/2009|

"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 11|3|hmmmmmmmm from what i'm seeing online they have the black cartridges and the combo color cartridges..........|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|11:32:21|06/28/2009|
seems to be a lot like the lexmark printer i used to own, you run out of blue and you have to trash the entire color cartridge and get a new one. that's why i got the canon because it has separate cartridges.... 2 black, one red, one blue and one yellow. i only buy the color i need.
also i noticed the prices aren't that low...... $89 - $250 ont eh walmart site.
i'd definatly be checking around for better prices. jmho

14|4|The description for the Kodak ESP series say it is a two cartridge system...is that the item you were talking about?|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|11:42:05|06/28/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 16|5|yes, a 2 cartridge system works with a black cartridge adn a color cartridge which holds all 3 other colors...............|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|11:49:21|06/28/2009|
the red, blue and yellow so if the red runs out b4 the others you have to replace it.

"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 22|4|Are you sure your ink is empty?|homerlisa|tls899@verizon.net|11:56:38|06/28/2009|
A few years back we bought a Epson Stylus Photo RX600 and it seemed like if we printed a few times, then the ink would say it was low. When I take the cartridge out, you can shake the cartridge and still hear that it has ink in it. My BL told us about a charger that re-charges your cartridges. I purchased one off ebay and when my low light comes on, I just recharge mark the top of the cartridge so next time I know it is really out. I have saved so much doing this.
Might be something to check out. Sorry, I don't know the "offical" name for this thing
Lisa 24|5|Yeah, I ignore the indicator displays and just use the cartridge til the print is too faded....so if it's not empty, it's clogging up, which is just as costly.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|12:06:27|06/28/2009|

"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 26|3|I have the Kodak ESP3, love it|mo6g02|crazylady47952@yahoo.com|14:24:23|06/28/2009|
The ink is so reasonable priced & it goes a long long ways. Daughter uses it all the time for scrapbooking pictures & she does a ton of them before the ink gets low. I've had it a year & have replaced ink once in all that time. I can replace both cartridges for half of what one of my last cartridges cost.

27|4|Awesome, I love hearing someone has it and has used it for awhile, and likes it :) I am really leaning towards that one for the price!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|14:33:20|06/28/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 28|1|HP (B&W) for me...(M)|bluh2oeyes|bluh2oeyes@yahoo.com|15:29:39|06/28/2009|
I have an HP that uses toner (just B&W) which I have had for almost 9 years! It still runs and prints like a champ! Just checked and to date I've printed 23,400 sheets since I first plugged it in. I date my toner cartridges and put the sheet count on it when I "install" it. I just checked and it's been in there 16 months and printed 5473 sheets and it's still going strong. This reminds me I'll have to buy a new one soon (I always have a back-up but I have to start a coupon hunt before I buy.) With a coupon (at one of the 3 office supply stores) I can get a high capacity HP branded cartridge for about $70. I could get a refill or a store branded (also refilled) for less but have always had great luck with the OEM so for me it's worth the extra few bucks.
If I need color I use my parents printer (they also have an HP which I recommended to them and they love it). Mom gets her ink refills at Walgreens when they have a sale ($5 or $10) and ever now and then she buys new carts from BJ's. I don't recall how much they are there but I know they are cheaper than the office supply stores.

Willa 31|2|Willa, I have used the Kodak a few times since I've gotten it, most recently printed some black & white closeups I found on Flicker to put in frames for my new bathroom....the quality is great, the only thing I am not thrilled about is the paper tray, there isnt a seperate tray for the paper as it comes out after being printed, so it may be sucked back in, but other than that, I really like it alot! |saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|14:26:25|07/05/2009|

go around :O)
