Query: An absolute waste of money

I'm an 8 months user. Price is cheap & quality is excellent. Yes. The catch is it eats a lot of ink. And they are not cheap. No generic ink replacement available. This not the worst yet - if say the color ink is finished, even though back is still available. This printer won't print ! STUPID design !!! (or rather this is a smart way to drain your wallet). It creates unneccesary down-time. Actually my color ink became dry because I didin't use it for 5 months. Then I have to waste $30 to buy new color cartridge JUST TO MAKE the black ink prints !Beware - first time users will be impressed by this printer, but wait until several months. Better still, just don't waste your money on this machine.Other model like Epson 880 could be a better choice if you want to have generic ink replacements.
