Shy, how much ink do you get for starters?
No idea but it seems to be doing well so far and it's been given a fair amount of use by myself and the two others using it.
I checked out the cost of replacement cartridges before buying this Epson.
The Lexmark cost me a small fortune in inks, because one colour finished from the tri-colour cartridge meant the whole thing came to a halt. It told me it was empty and that was it, it refused to let me carry on trying. I bought XL cartridges in an attempt to save money until I discovered by experimentation, that a so-called "empty" XL cartridge weighed the same as normal sized one did when full.
