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.
