Any suggestions?

i get mine off ebay, usually they're close to the expiration date... but no problems yet... just gotta be careful not to buy "refills"

Wal-mart has some good deals in my area, not sure how they are in different states...but check the newspaper for coupons and the such. :icon19: I get some good deals ever once and awhile anyway.

Yeah cartridges are where priner company's make their money. They give the printer away and charge an arm and a leg for the ink.
Careful with refills, they work sometimes...

Yeah, I'm a little leary about refills, esp since it is a photo printer. If it was just a plain old CMY printer that we used to print out maps and crap like that I'd probably try refills. This is a 6 cart photo printer no sense in skimping on the ink and printing a crappy pic.
So far, it looks like buy.com is the best, since they have free shipping. staples and walmart weren't any cheaper.
Checking eBay...

Wow! eBay is cheap, mostly knock off brands though. Any brands to look for or avoid?
