I Can't Believe It....

Have you priced ink for the computer printers.

I had a Canon Pixma 210...came with a motherboard a few years ago.

Well, the ink ran out and I went to Best Buy to get some more.

The price: 28.00 for the color
22.00 for the black ink

Wow, i thought that was insane and remember seeing a commercial for a printer for $59 but didn't know where.

So i went across the street to Walmart.

A Hewlert Packer??? HP for $48.00
I could buy a printer a new printer for the price of ink alone. Sold!

Took it home and plugged it in. It worked great.. Noisy and it didn't make multiple files.

Meaning: When I put 4 photos on the scanner...it thinks and saves them as one

So i would have to crop the scanned version 4 times to get the photos separated.

I called HP and they said their scanners don't do that.

I then checked Walmart by internet and they had a Canon Pixma 250 for $32.00. I called Canon and they said Sure the 250 is new and has all the improvements and does the Multiple Files.

OK, back into the box and back to Walmart.

I returned it.

There was the Canon. And it was $35 including taxes, and had the ink.

Ink for the old printer/scanner: $50
A brand new printer/scanner: $32

Saving $18....priceless

So be prepared to see more of my old photos.
