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.

PC WORLD.com Editors' review: WHAT'S HOT: The Photosmart 1218 appeals most to
digital-camera slingers. It features two slots that read SmartMedia and
CompactFlash memory cards, so you can print photos directly from a
digital camera. Using the control panel and LCD screen, you can access
menus to select which images to print, set their size and crop them,
arrange them in simple layouts, and even apply a few special effects,
such as rendering photos in sepia tones. If your camera doesn't use the
supported memory cards, it may still be able to communicate with the
Photosmart 1218 via its infrared port.
WHAT'S NOT: The Photosmart 1218's $399 price tag may be
too high for anyone who's not serious about printing photographs. The
paper feeder includes a well for snapshot-size media, a flap to support
folded banner media, a bypass slot to feed a single envelope without
emptying the main tray, and a long, wobbly extension for legal-size
paper.
WHAT ELSE: Though its purchase price is steep, the
Photosmart 1218's ink costs are not: A page of black text uses about 3.6
cents' worth of ink, and a page of graphics only 11.2 cents' worth.
(Keep in mind that full-page photos use quite a bit more ink--five to
ten times as much.) Also, HP includes an automatic duplexer as standard
equipment with the 1218, so if you print long text documents you can
save some money by printing on both sides of the page.
BEST USE: The PhotoSmart 1218 is a sweet deal if you're
serious about digital photography, but it may be too expensive for those
who aren't enthusiasts.
