The printers that come with it are of poor quality and the ink cartridges run out so quickly you'll have to keep them on your wish list because after a few Pages - definitely more than a few, but not as many as advertised - your printer says they need to be replaced. My printer uses three colors, Black XL and Photo Black. Therefore, keeping FIVE cartridges full at all times (since they are emptied at different rates) is an expensive treat. I ended up needing a separate BLACK ONLY printer for everyday printing. Once your HP says they're running low, the print quality is terrible. Even simple printing is not possible with clarity. Forget the photos I used to be able to print. I couldn't get a clear 4x6 inch photo for months. Even with ALL BRAND NEW HP inks and papers I get streaks and faded dull colors. abominable. And if the ink doesn't work, the printer doesn't work. , then it was time to leave HP, which I did. Obviously HP printers that use this ink are considered disposable and it shows. The main points to consider are 1) printer cost, 2) print quality, 3) print performance. 4) and shipping costs. HP printers and the inks they use DENY most of these factors (especially inks). In short, HP 564 inks are expensive, poor quality even for basic printing, and require permanent replacement after short runs. Consider Brother or Epson instead.
