"pointing me in the direction of a website that rates printers and INCLUDES the price of the ink in the evaluation.v"
Read customer reviews @ Amazon. You could also subscribe to consumer reports. That site in invaluable and worth much more than the annual subscription!
I tell people "if you not printing photos, you don't need a color printer". PERIOD!
Yeah it looks cool, but who really cares if the email you just printed is in color? It's eventually going into the trash anyway.
I know it used to be that Epson would give the printers away at a loss, because if you did the math on the ML's of ink in a cart, they get about $9000.00 a gallon for water based ink. That's why they all have chips in them now! It to ensure continued income and windfall profits. Their 'almost' as bad as the oil companies.
