Ink

Anyone tried to buy ink or toner for their printer lately? Ouch!  I really feel gouged.  And it doesn't seem to matter what company you bought your printer from.  They all gouge you on ink.  I've been trying to find a printer that uses less expensive ink and concluded there aren't any.  The refill companies, well they're a little cheaper but I've had about a 50% problem rate with those, so I have become reluctant to use them.  I guess the only solution is simply don't print stuff out.  That's what I'm going to try.  I think I'll go back to hand written envelopes and labels.  Either that or get an octopus.  I don't know if their ink works well for a printer, but maybe it should be looked into.
