>print up to 50 pages

Is this some economy ultra light printer or something? I get several hundreds of pages from each syringe refill.

It’s 50 pages per month. The cartridges they get are probably the 150 or 200 per page ones. In other word they’re paying a monthly fee to get a max of 3 or 4 cartridges a year. Probably less.

I’ve grown to hate the modern ink jet printers with a passion. I moved on to the consumer laser printers. I’m sure I’ll hate them too soon enough.

What does the syringe refill cost? I also have the instant ink service and I want out

Ink seems to be virtually free at Monoprice. Like, "It costs more to ship this than the ink, so I guess I'll just buy 10 of each color, but now I have a drawer full of ink cartridges and need to find more things to print."

I refill it from the bottle. The bottle costed me under a fiver some years ago.
