Price and buy

What's in the box?
• Printer
• Power supply
• Power cord
• HP 61 black cartridge (approx. 190 pages)
• HP 61 tri-color cartridge (approx. 165 pages)
• Reusable tote
• CD with software
• Set-up guide

Now if one clicks on the "cartridges" link they get this:
HP 61 black 190 pages $13.99
HP 61 tricolor 165 pages $19.99

Looks pretty close to the same amount of pages per ink cartridge to me.

Printing in black: about 7.5 cents per page
Color: about 12 cents per page

+ paper and power

If you read the fine print it will say something like "at 5% coverage"

So if it was 5%, then a full page color picture would cost around $2.42!
