I have an HP Z3100 and an Epson R300. I'm spoiled by the relatively inexpensive ink costs on the HP but the little Epson, which makes nice prints, is driving me to the poor house. I don't like to opt for using the HP for something like a 5 X 7 or 8 X 10 print and deal with the paper waste and the cutting entailed. Anyone have a suggestion for a small format printer that does not have ink cartridges the size of a thimble or refillable cartridges that don't print like refillables?
Thanks,
Jac

Six months ago I collected the Euro prices per ML excl. VAT.
It may have shifted meanwhile but I think that the economy of a printer is more important, the manufacturers keep their ink prices in the same category quite close to one another.
0,91 Euro per ml Epson 1400 etc (Claria) 7,4 ml = 6,47 Euro
0,73 Euro per ml HP 9180 28 ml = 20,55 Euro
0.73 Euro per ml Epson 2400 13 ml = 9,44 Euro
0,45 Euro per ml Epson 3800 80 ml = 36,30 Euro
0,45 Euro per ml Canon iPF5000 130 ml = 58,80 Euro
0,41 Euro per ml Canon iPF9000 330 ml = 135,57 Euro
0,37 Euro per ml HP Z3100 130 ml = 47,47 Euro
0,33 Euro per ml Epson 9800 110 ml = 36,38 Euro
0,32 Euro per ml Canon iPF9000 700 ml = 226,29 Euro
0,29 Euro per ml HP Z3100 twin pack 260 ml = 75,50 Euro
0,26 Euro per ml Epson 9800 220 ml = 58,09 Euro
