Meron kami nung HP K209a 3in1 printer, which we bought yesterday. Mahal yung printer pero mura nga daw ung ink, same lang ng ink cartridge sa tass (HP 703). Ayos!

Hmm.. still costly compared to Epson. I bought an Epson Stylus C90 last two years at PhP2490 and the inks (Economy) is priced at 295 each, enough for 180 pages. Still works like a brand new until now.

hp printers are now disposable after 1 year (warranty period) wala na silang mga spare part na pwedeng iprovide and their warranty are automatic outright replacement.

I’ve been an HP printer user since ever. Though their ink cartridges were one of the most expensive a few years ago, it’s great to see they’ve slashed down the prices today.

Hopefully their new printers would last longer than before. I recall having to replace my unit every two years because it would just die for no apparent reason despite being well taken care of.

imho… printers and ink should be very expensive since they are not environment friendly, wasteful and you need physical space to keep anything you print.

the tech community should put up an end-of-life date for printers since it was invented to replace the typewriter/photograph and now everything should be digital.

i have a 5 year old brother 3-in-1 which has 4 separate ink cartridges, each costing at least 800 pesos. i hope more printers would have inks that cost within 300 pesos :)
