Check out the Kodak range of printers. Good quality and very cheap
replacement cartridges. Argos sell them quite competitivley


My 7200 gobbles black cartridges like there's no tomorrow. Admittedly
my daughter uses it for preparing lesson material for 30 kids but the
fact that black cartridges come in 2 sizes (Jumbo & Dinky) is a clue.

The Jumbo cartridges are 70% bigger but not significantly cheaper.

It seems the black cartridge needs to be at least 5X bigger.

Since the ink is pigment based I'm not exactly sure how I'd go about
re-filling a cartridge at home. :-(
