Advantages: Initially it seemed cheap

Disadvantages: Ink costs more than printer!!!

What a rip off this has turned out to be....
It was only 69.99 when I got mine, included were two ink cartridges a colour,& a black & white. Sounds good.

Well I`m no proffesional so the printer is good enough for me.
Hasn`t give me a problem ever.
The quality, well this is good....even the colour is fine.

One day though, it happened the ink run dry.
Off I went to buy a new colour cartridge....I couldn`t believe it £44 !!!
I bought a refill kit instead £9.99. It didn`t work though, the ink just leaked out the bottom.

I just decided to leave it a while & shop around till I came across somewhere selling them cheaper...the cheapest was £34.99....so I got it.

Then the black run out !!! £32 for black !!!

The Printer was at this time now selling for £49.99,
including 2 cartridges ???
I`d spent £76 !!!
I could have bought a new printer !!!
But then what would i have done with the other inkless one !!!
And when the ink run out would I have to buy a printer again, & again, & again...!!!

I am waiting for the ink to all run dry now & will buy a new printer NOT OLIVETTI ! one where the ink is not a rip off!
