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 :)

Mas mura yung sa HP900 inkjet, bumili ako ng ink P290 pesos lang yung black ink then P350 yung colored. So far mas mura yun kesa Epson T10 printer runs out of ink easily

this are all BS! yes you can buy ink for a cheaper price BUT you will buy you printer about 4k???thats insane.. in tech money says it all.. if you dont think very well you will over spend. for 4k you can buy already a 3 in 1 printer… i suggest you buy hp cheap printer then use hp simple black inks

I have a HP D2460, ~ 3 yrs old. bought it for around 2 1/2 thousand pesos

I use inkmate black ink (200 pesos for a small bottle, probably good for 10 refills) and calidad color refills (200-300 pesos, i forgot, good for 2-3 refills). I dont print too much and i’ve clogged only one set of color/black cartridges with refill inks in those 3 years.

Thats the nice thing about HP, replace the ink cartridge and its almost good as new. I had a 10 year old HP 660c that I ressurected 2 years ago with brand new cartridges. I had to help push the paper through and the gears made awful noises but the print quality was the same.

Bad thing about my HP is it jams on paper > 200 gsm

Does Hewlett Packard finally saw the light?

If they really want to stamp out cheaper alternative inks like compatible hp inks or remanufactured hp toners, they should lower the prices.

@manong

have you tried to go through the entire week or even the day without even reading or relying on a print-out document or picture?

besides the green angle doesn’t quite work, digital display uses electricity

back to topic, hopefully the other manufacturers will follow suit, canon inks are too expensive, black + color usually cost almost 2k!
