not necessarily, i work for a large retail office supply store, and i see people day in and day out buy over 50 to 70 dollars worth of ink. What made me respond is that we just introduced a new Compaq printer which retails at 49.99....so in reality, i buy the printer, use till the ink runs out, i just buy a whole new printer and still be ahead of the game by 10 bucks...In retail, Staples...my employer, makes a boat load of profit on ink, as do the manufacturers, it is more profitable for us to sell someone ink then a entire printer..go figure..
