New Epson Photo Stylus RXseries has 6 cartridges.
Cyan, Bright Cyan, Magenta, Bright Magenta, Yellow, Black.

You can replace them all one at a time.

They are reasonable in cost.

New No such thing as "reasonable" in inkjet-land
One chooses the printer make and model that gives you less of an arse-raping than the competition.

The arse-raping is not optional. You just get to choose whether you get lubed first, or not.

New If you want to print...
It is the cost of printing.

Sure, I don't like it. Sure I can refill if I want. Sure I can buy new if I want.

Like Toner Cartridges are any cheaper? Sure they *LAST* longer, but they have not a less costly price for printing.

New Actually....
...lasers have a much lower cost per page than inkjets, especially for regular black'n'white printing.

New I see, same could be said ...
for the Inkjets, since I only have to use one cartridge for it.

Since Black ink is black ink is black ink... I can refill with top quality Epson style ink on Black, for $.30 a refill. I get nearly 500 pages out of that. At 360x360.

Hows that ?

New Canon is easier to refill, but check DPReview, Photo-i
Epson has gone to "chipping" their ink tanks. Canon's are just molded plastic, so you can buy replacement ink tanks that are designed to be refilled, e.g. [link|http://redrockinnovations.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=IJG&Category_Code=R01| at Ink Jet Goodies]

Plus, many of the Canons support automatic duplex printing, which is awesome. I'm very happy with a Canon S9000 and IP3000.

Epson's R1800 and 2200 are interesting since they use pigment inks (claimed life > 100 years), but they're pricey.

As always, [link|http://www.dpreview.com|DP Review] is a good resource (check out the printer forum). A site with excellent printer reviews is Vincent Oliver's [link|http://www.photo-i.co.uk/|Photo-i]

New I have no problem with the "3rd Party" new tanks
For my RX600.

And, those chips are actually for the fullness/amount left sensors.

But, if they try a Lexmark... it won't happen in the USA.

New Epson has had problems with non-Epson ink.
They started making a bit of a fuss about using non-Epson ink, enough that Australian Personal Computer contacted them and asked what was going on. Epson Australia said that they were getting a substantial number of printers in for repair in their service centre that had been damaged with non-Epson ink. This was costing them money and reputation. The solution they chose was to shift their advertising to emphasize the need to use only Epson ink.
