Is the ink a good value for the amount it costs and how much it prints?

Personally, I think ALL inkjet printers "ink value" is a huge rip off. This printer seems to be average in ink usage compared to all the others I have ever had. I also have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 and both seem to use about the same amount of ink per cartridge. This 7610 is a decent value compared to other printers. No better or worse.

To me it really depends on how much printing you do. If you really don't do a lot of printing its not worth the cost. Also, the ink charging system drinks a lot of ink when the printer is left idol for extended periods of time. Yes the ink is very expensive( 8 cartridges at 28 - 32 dollars apiece) I would recommend the Artisan 50 or if you could locate the r2400. If you take good picture these printers will do the job.

It's a really good value. It seems to print as many pages, if not more, then the very expensive cartridge from Dell. I wish I would have found out sooner. Dell should be ashamed for charging so much for their item.

I print 8X10 images on a regular basis and have averaged a cost of about $1.80 in ink per image. Your 4X6 print is about 1/4 that of a full page so a close est. would be about 45-50 cents worth of ink for each print.

I have one since 2009 and is great. I paid $295.00 I don't understand the hike in price to $800.. The only problem with CLARIA ink is that with plain paper is NOT WATER RESISTANCE, but with photo paper from Epson, there it is.

Another way to look at it is this way: if you buy the printer for $99.99 and it comes with a full set of new cartridges whose value is $75, the printer itself was in fact worth just $24.99, which is an unbeatable value to me!

Hi Mike ~ I did a lot of research before making my purchase; I would say go for it, I simply put in my model printer and went with the best bang for the buck and I'm soooooo glad I did and trust me, this is the only way I'll be buying my ink� hope this helped!

The color quality is great, but the cost begins to be significant if you're making lots of prints. You've probably seen other comments about the cost of the color cartridges. If cost is not that important, but if quality results are your main objective, then this is a very good printer for you. For large numbers of copies, you might want to consider laser, rather than ink jet copiers.

I use this printer for very colorful digital art on 50lb art paper , I have done about 60 11x14 prints and emptied most of the cartridges , if you stock up on the low cost official cartridges the price is ok if not it would be unaffordable. I think I mentioned my work is 11x14 , still more reasonable then sending out, the printer itself has has some issues with the rear feed system and I never know if its the software ore the printer . For the price to be able to print wide format it's worth it to me, it uses ink though! I already have bought 2 sets of the lower cost Epson ink , so no worries, just to be clear I have not used all the ink purchased , just nice to have it on hand as it was fairly inexpensive

no. Black ink cartridge is about $17 and color is about $21 depending on where you shop. They both last quite a while.

Because for $150 you can print a whopping 100 pages before you need new ink. For $160, you can print 1000 to 2000 pages.

I both this printer for 2 people I know. It was simple setup and very good print quality. The wireless printing is great because both people use laptops. I would say yes it is a very good value.

Buy a new printer...Ink is around $19.00 to $25.00 plus. Use only Canon Ink other inks will gum up print head if not used freqently.

I have no clue about the cost, but I know that using the off brands created problems for my Canon printers. I get great results with the Canon ink, but have never tried to figure out the cost per sheet. I almost never print 4 X 6 pictures. Ivie Bellone

This is the value it will cover. In my opinion if your printer is valued at $179 than you should have a value plan that reflects that amount!

Depends on two things: 1) How expense (or cheap) was the purchase price originally;and most important, 2) are you happy with the performance of your printer?If everything is working fine and you are happy it is worth the cost. If you really want a better printer or a printer with different abilities and your present printer is a few years old, and you find a new printer that is a great buy with new features YOU WILL USE then save the printhead money go new!

you can get the ink for about $13-14.00... from what i have seen it is not much cheaper than that even if you buy a whole pack of the inks. I know costco has ink refilling service in my area, and am hoping they will make that available but only the 221 inks are, which cost about 8.00 for black and color inks. hope this helps :)
