HP has recently done two things, one good, one bad. The Good: First, HP now offers XL carts in 74/75 series and the 88 series. These xl's cost 2x as much but offer 3x to 4x more ink. More Good: All printers HP sells now come with full carts whereas other brands come only with starter carts. The Bad: Hp has microchips in the carts that disable the carts after they have been empty. This makes it so people cannot refill the carts. Staples has stopped refilling Hp carts because they dont work alot of the time. Lexmark has a dirty secret also. When you insert a lexmark cart into the printer, it breaks a seal not present in any other brand of printer. This seal makes lexmark ink dry out in a few months. Lexmark makes their money like this. walk into a retail store, look for a lexmark on display. Lexmarks are in stacks to give away free with computers.
