I buy all my cartridges in quantity from Epson. com or online at other professional sites. If you do over 1000 prints a month email me, Ill give you some sites or you can check at allyoucanink.com ($8.95ea) or 123inks.com ($4.95ea) , I can go on. Ahh, such is the uniformed mind. When pricing price per page do not use comparative charts put out by companines. Every printer is different. Do your own test. ALL you have to do is chart every print by percentage of ink coverage (theres a really nice photoshop plugin that does this for you, plus every cartridge till you finish all of them and do the math, plus you take in accountability the life FULL not estimated life of a print in DIRECT sunlight which is standard for everyone in the world. Anyone really serious into photo printing who wants the most out of thier prints will do this. And I fully disagree , there is no way a CD cover will cost 8 cents unless of course your using fellowes (20 pack) or CD AfterBurner covers and the biggest chucnk comes from the cover itself or printing higher then 72 DPI and havent adjusted down your coverage percentage in the driver. Plus, a cd cover does not need to be set to print quality higher then 720 at hi speed on the 2200. I have used most every printer out there, except lexmark, I will never use that crap, and I have read every bit of information, all the charts, white pages, consumer reports tests, plus did all my own testing on every printer and aside from the ALPS 5000P dye sublimation printer there is no better printer for photos then an Epson. Unless its a c62 or comparable throw away printer your using. Up until 2 years ago, I bought all the 3rd party inks, 3rd party paper, deals at computer shows, etc... for some reason when I switched to all epson products on the Epson 2200, my buisness has gotten nothing but increases ever since and It looks like Im going to be putting on more employees in the near future too. But to each thier own, look at one or two websites and make your decision, or look at 50 websites, 25 white pages, TM manual , do your own testing and then decide. Its up to you. I already know what the buisness industry wants. Have a good day. -ZoWillie-
PS, I would move fast on the Epson 2200 cartirdge for only $4.95 as soon a spossible, thier not going to last for long and its first come first serve while supplies last (click past the junk that pops up first to get to the real stuff)
Good Luck
