I BUY HP INK CARTRIDGES #99 AND #97 ON AMAZON.COM FREQUENTLY FOR MY HP PHOTOSMART PRO B8350 PRINTER. ALL THE CARTRIDGES I HAVE BOUGHT, I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. I RECEIVED THEM IN USUALLY 2-4 DAYS AND IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND I SAVE A LOT OF MONEY VERSUS BUYING THEM AT RETAIL STORES.

It seems that everywhere us consumers turn we're being overcharged for something and ink cartridges are no exception. In the past color printers were something of a luxury, I can remember when a decent one sold for roughly $500.00 and consumers didn't mind paying $70.00 on additional ink cartridges. The only thing is, this isn't the past. Today printers are as common in households as a standard definition television set, so why is it the price of ink hasn't dropped? Well, in my cynical opinion the manufacturer has the consumer of something of a "take-it-or-leave-it" position. If you want to print documents you need ink, you need ink you have to get a cartridge that is compatible with your printer, and to do that you have to buy what is offered from the manufacturer. This situation sort of echoes memories of the way the music industry was once run. CDs full of filler with a couple decent songs selling for over $20.00 at the local mall. Hey...you want the song you heard on MT, you gotta buy the whole overpriced album. Take it or leave it, what other choice do you have? Well, we all know how that ended up. People today download music for either free or for less than a dollar a song as the ways of old have died out, driving local music stores out of malls across the country. A hard lessoned learned for retailers who refuse to conform to the new, but still not a lesson completely understood by the good people selling us our ink cartridges. There is absolutely no excuse for the inflated prices of these tiny plastic containers, filled with approximately 15ML of ink, other than to overcharge the consumer and make a huge (and unfair) profit. With the help of my closest companion, the Internet, I have discovered many websites that offer generic brands of ink cartridges (that print just as good I might add) at a almost half the price as these so called "premium brands". I urge anyone who is as outraged as I am at the prices of these ink cartridges to do a quick search on any Internet search engine for "cheap ink cartridges". You'll be surprised what you come up with and the money you'll save. One good one I found (and use quite a bit) is 123inkjets. They have a wide selection of ink cartridges with a multitude of different brands.
