There’s magenta everywhere!

Note to self… insert clever “Cat In the Hat Comes Back” joke here…

BTW, I hate the fact that ink cartridges are a racket to make money but geez, just buy a new one… who prints stuff out anymore anyway? 🙂

Let’s take a look at a sample case for an inkjet printer, the Canon iP4500. This printer comes with five color cartridges as part of the package: photo black, yellow, cyan, magenta, and text black (for printing text). I’ll do the pricing at Future Shop.

Canon iP4500 Inkjet Printer: $149.95

Text Black Cartridge (PGI-5BK): $25.99
Photo Black (CLI-8BK): $20.99
Yellow (CLI-8Y): $24.99
Cyan (CLI-8C): $24.99
Magenta (CLI-8M): $24.99
TOTAL: $121.95

So, if you find the printer on sale, you might be better off just buying the printer again rather than buying ink cartridges for your existing printer.
