Note when you click to buy it selects a USB cable as well but it just takes a normal one.

At that price just buy a few printers and when the ink runs out bin it - the printer with 2 cartridges is half the price of one new cartridge!

Two things:
1) The ink cartridges that come with the printer often contain less
ink than the replacements that you buy.
2) Consider a laser printer. I bought a laser Samsung ML1210 for
about 40 quid a year ago and the ink has yet to run out.
It only does black and white, but works on the same principle as
a photocopier so the 'ink' lasts for ages.
Laser printers cost much less per sheet than ink jet printers.

Hi guys,
I bought a load of these printers last time they did the same offer. The replacement carts are over ?40.00 a pair (rebaged Lexmark), but I knock the printers out at ?20.00 and fill the carts for a tenner to my regular customers and everyone is happy.............just bought another 20 this time round.
They are not a bad printer, similar to the Epson 40 range in print quality, maybe slightly better, but as previously said, for a tenner, you won't be out of pocket if you bin it after the carts have run out.
