Yes, cheap printers have expensive ink (how else are the OEMs going to make 
money)?

I recall reading a comparison study some time ago where different printers were 
compared to each other at various price points.  Expensive ink and 
unnecessarily wasteful printing-head cleaning cycles were the two main causes 
for not jumping on the first cheap printer on sale.

My experience with HP has also been trouble free.
