I remember when I was a teenager, Walmart sold shitty printers that came with ink for $35... Replacement ink for that exact model was $20/cartridge.

Those starter cartridges had far less ink in them than the replacements. It didn't matter if you refilled them yourself though.

And most people never even finish them.
