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.
