I couldn't agree more. Last year, on a local forum, a bloke crowed loud
and clear that he was buying cartridges for his HP inkjet printer at
about one-third the price of original cartridges. A month later, he
warned the forum not to buy them because a) one of the colours faded,
even in room conditions, almost by the day and b) his ink head was
bunged up.
Cheap can mean expensive!
