Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a
printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its
ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of
ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month)
times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge).
Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular
cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per
month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The
monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
200 pages
Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the
original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of
remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

Epson Stylus C62 Street Price: $190.00
PC WORLD.com Editors' review: WHAT'S HOT: The Stylus C62 demonstrates impressive
print speed considering its modest $99 price. Lexmark's Z55se Color
Jetprinter and Canon's I850 Photo Printer beat its text speed of 6.2
pages per minute--but both cost more. The C62's 1.6-ppm speed for
printing graphics is the fastest time of all the general-purpose
printers we tested.
WHAT'S NOT: Though the C62 costs only $99, you'll pay a
lot to keep it running: Black ink costs approximately 7.1 cents per page
of text. And color ink runs 17.1 cents for a page of graphics. Color and
black cartridges are $30 each.
WHAT ELSE: Epson's one-year warranty is
reasonable--longer than some competitors' warranties. The C62 installed
painlessly, with each step going exactly as the instructions said it
would.
