  Definitely a great price, but as with all printers: the purchase cost will pale into insignificance compared to the printer food.
  Cheap-ish set of replacement compatible ink cartridges for this printer are typically under £20.
  Bit cheaper if you can be bothered to refill.
  Genuine Dell set at £45+, or £57 from Argos !

  Not clear if the carts supplied with the printer are full capacity or reduced-capacity "starter" versions.
  But still a great price if you have been looking for this printer model.

  £57 for new ink carts .... They are having a larf !!! Better to buy 3 printers while at this price. Take out the carts and sell printers on the bay less carts. Cold simply because of ink costs.

  I guess, like most printers these will come will "setup" ink carts which have reduced ink.

  I understand many inkjets (certainly Epson) come with full carts, but it takes 40% of the ink to prime the printer on first use!
  
  If true use the ink from the next printer but make sure you keep the pre-primed machine!
  
  How un-green is that?
