The cost of replacement printer ink cartridges produced by the manufacturer can be many times more than the printer itself so compatible printer inks can be a huge money saver. Does the ink in the printer smear when touched? A good quality ink should be fast drying and not smear when touched. If it is at all possible you should ask a sales person to print a test page on a printer that you may be interested in purchasing. Also you should ask if you can see a test copy printed on normal paper. The laminated paper used in a lot of shops will make the print quality of any printer appear to better then it actually is.
