Question 1

Does this printer include standard cartridges or "starter" cartridges?

Accepted Answer

To the best of my knowledge, the carts supplied with the device were standard. Because of the very low cost of the printer, we have opted not to use original HP ink but rather use reloaded carts from a reliable supplier. For the most part these carts are reliable and cost only a third or less of HP's. The thinking is even if you receive a bad cart or if one of the carts causes the printer to malfunction, the significant saving in ink pays for a new printer after only one turn of the carts.
