The normal retail price for the black & white plus the color cartridge together is about $50, even at lower priced retailers like Best Buy and Staples. I did find an on line merchant called discountcartridge.com that sells what they claim are cartridges guaranteed to contain equivalent amounts of ink as the name brand maufacturers. I guess you could even say they are endorsed by Yahoo! Their web site states the following: "Discount Cartridge, Inc. is proud to have earned Yahoo! Shopping's highest 5-Star rating based on thousands of customer responses, not just a few. We have also been tested by the Safe Shopping Network for safety, performance and usability."

I wish you had mentioned your HP printer model/ink type in your note. I found a place called ABACUS 24/7 that has a whole page of HP models listed that they carry ink for. I found them doing a research typing assignment for online products a couple weeks ago and decided to check them out when my Dell printer needed ink. Their prices are HALF what Dell (I average about $70 when I buy both black ink and color cartridges from them) and even Staples charged (my last color cartridge from Staples wanted to print only greens and blues after less than a week and it had cost over $25, if I remember right). Abacus sells color and black cartridges for $19.50 each, or 2 for $38.50 (whether 2 color, 2 black, or 1 of each). You can also buy 5 packs, or 10 packs.
As an example of HP prices, I chose No. 02B--C8721WN and the price for 1 cartridge is $12.99 . It was given 5 gold stars, and says it has "twice the ink content and page yield as the OEM cartridge."

I've not had good luck with aftermarket ink cartridges. Instead, I keep an eye out on ebay for genuine factory HP cartridges and can usually get them at far less than retail, as well as them having an expiration date a year into the future.

You can find many companies out their but you have to make sure and do your research. Companies may make compatibles or refurbished cartridges but they must have a great success rate. You can call a few online companies and ask for their defective rate for your HP ink cartridges. It will save you time in the long run and know what you may have to deal with if they are not to your satisfaction

try TESCO they maynot have h.p. ink cartridges but if you go down and look at the packaging you will see its says on the back what type of printers they are suitable for I'm certain you will get sorted there, they also sell the photo paper and all are very reasonable in price ,i know the ink was on offer a few weeks ago ,but you probably missed out on that but will still get a better price than in the camera shop

I would stay with the Hewlett-Packard cartridges. I have a HP3847 printer and it performs best with the HP cartridges. I get mine at Wal-Mart and the set costs around $50.00 or a little less. Also check the expiration date.

I've been buying from www.carrotink.com for years. The price is right and they offer regular specials where you can get a free black cartridge and sometimes a free cartridge and free shipping. After you get on their mailing list, you will receive e-mails of specials.

Another great place to look for discounts is SearchAllDeals. just start with a search term like "HP ink cartridges".
