As you can see I'm a Kodak printer fan.  The nice thing about the Office Hero 6.1 is that you only buy the ink.  Many printers, HP, Canon, Epson etc. when buy cartridges they include the print head which costs you almost double.  The Kodak Office Hero has the print head separate, all you are buying is the ink.  This saves you a lot over time.  My opinion is that Kodak (not in the greatest  financial situation) still makes the best printers, this is where they shine.  Their photo printers are the best.  Try them at CVS Pharmacy or Target, you make the choice.  Look at the quality of your photo print!!! The Office Hero 6.1 for an all in one printer also prints a great photo print...Clear, no lines and the color is true.  For text it uses less ink and again true colors (if needed) and a very clear text.  If all you’re printing is text I guess throwing out your printer just to save a bit is OK but you are getting a cheap printer.  If your are printing Photos it’s a bit different.  I have a few Kodak printers, Kodak 6400 photo printer, a Kodak 7000 Photo printer and for everyday use a Kodak Office Hero 6.1.
