Agreed ... and don't be afraid to bid on eBay, either. I bought 5 black
cartridges (retail ~$20 each) for $25 and all five gave good quality /
life. The chemistry of the ink does not seem to be the determinant ... a
color cartridge (with 3 times the volume of ink and VERY precise color
requirements) is only about $5 more than a normal black ink cartridge.
