Most folks print, in fact most print a lot... today many use photo
printers, those consume a tremendows quantity of ink yet people do
print photos. However pricey are branded printer cartridges generics
can be purchased on line at deep discount... I've been using generics
for many years with no complaints, I buy at Inksmile.com When I
recently bought a new printer and realized I had more than twenty of
their cartridges in stock for my old printer they told me to mail them
back and they sent me a check for a full refund, can't beat that. I
don't do a lot of printing but hardly a day passes that I don't print
a few pages. I doubt the printe page will become obsolete... it seems
to me that the more effort is placed into achieving this so-called
paperless society the more pages are printed... the more one signs up
for on line statements, banking, etc. the more junk snail mail they
send.
