This is a rant about my printer. (I was trying to be clever with my title, get it?)
We bought our HP printer/scanner/copier cheap! (What was it Amber, like $25?) At the time we didn't know we'd have to invest in $15-$20 ink cartridges every month. Those tiny cartridges don't last that long and it doesn't seem like we print all that much.
Take the HP 21 black ink. It is (3/18/09) $18.92 on walmart.com for a 5 ml cartridge. That makes it (check my math) $3.784 per milliliter. There are 3785.4 ml in 1 gallon. That makes black ink $14323.95 per gallon!!!
(Is gold that expensive???)
