Deskjet Review

We had a HP Deskjet and getting an Epson Stylus tomorrow. From what we can see Epson cartridges are cheaper than the HP ones? But what about all the others, how do they compare price wise? I’m talking genuine ink cartridges not cheaper "compatible" or refurbished ones. Thanks.

Kodak claims to have the cheapest ink cartridges for inkjet printers, my friend, though I have no personal experience of Kodak printers.

Inkjet printers are becoming the most popular home computer printers. In contrast to a laser printer, which uses high heat to fuse powdered ink to a material like paper, an inkjet printer sprays a fine pattern of liquid ink. Without the need for heat, an inkjet printer can print on a far wider range of materials, from the delicate to the metallic. The primary quality of these materials must be their ability to absorb and hold an inked image without bleeding or spreading.

Inkjet paper is designed especially for inkjet printers. Like any paper, its many varieties are generally classified by weight, brightness, texture, and opacity. Basic inkjet office paper weight ranges from 21 to 27 lbs, and is most suitable for printing text. The amount of ink required to print a photo, however, can soak and buckle these lightweight papers. Photo paper is heavy and very opaque, even to the point where it can be printed on both sides without the images showing through.
