This says it comes with "setup" ink. Does that mean you should buy cartridges when you purchase it?

No, it comes with cartridges about 3/4 full. So plan on buying a little sooner than if u had brand new cartridges... Plus most retailers are promoting and stocking only the XL size cartridges which are a little more money, but worth it for the extra large capacity ink tanks.

Ink cartridges came with the printer, but the Black cartridge ran out pretty quickly. Buy the XL ink tanks if you plan to do lots of straight printing.

The setup cartridges have a much smaller ink supply but should last a month or so. There are refill ink bottles advertised on ebay but Cartridge World tells me that even though they can be refilled, the printer will not print with them until the cartridge chips are reset and Cartridge World does not yet have the software to reset them. The XL cartridges have 11 ml of ink and I spent almost as much on a set of six as I spent purchasing the printer-around $17 each. Don't know how much ink should be in the standard cartridges. Nice printer though.

It came with cartridges. So, you do not need to buy them separately until you run out of ink in the cartridges that came with the printer. However, we were printing a lot of colorful "art" projects and got low on ink (certain colors) very fast. It never hurts to have an extra set of cartridges handy!

Bought this for my wife and she says it comes with a set of normal cartridges.

if you're going to start printing a lot of pictures right of way yes if not just a few pictures will be fine

I think it came with low-capacity cartridges, you'll want to order full-sized replacements with the printer because the ones it ships with don't last long. (I'm pretty sure...got the printer a long time ago and memory is a bit dim on this)

if you buy a new one you will get the ink cartage. if you buy a refurbished model, you will not recev' the ink cartage. if you are looking for a printer, i will sell you a printer that was a double order to me, all i ask is that you pay me the purchase price that i payed, which will be $75. i will also include the ink cartage in the printer. the only thing you will need is the usb cable.

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer.

You get the sample versions of ink so you could use it right away. I would purchase the #564 multi pack and an addition extra large black. The ink is relatively inexpensive.

Hi Ken:I just purchased this set from Amazon. it came with both cartridges, and this is the best price I have found. Good luck.

When you buy it, it does come with both black and color ink. But it's said that the ink that comes with printers is not as long lasting as the ink you buy in the stores...so it won't be long before you are buying some

The printer comes withe initial ink . The prnter will tell you when each needs replacing. Warn you they are about $16 each.

It does come with the cartridge, but I would suggest that you purchase several as they are smaller and likely to run out quickly if you do a lot of writing.

Yes, setup cartridges are included. They last quite a long time, I have printed approx 1000 sheets so far and they are still working.

Some of the kits come with cartridges. You would have to read the full description to see if this one does. If not, find one that does and it you need cartridges later, you can get this one

Yes, it comes with a "starter pack" of cartridges which have reduced ink capacity.

Yes, the ink cartridge is already installed and the unit came with a small roll of paper. I recommend using the small roll for learning and testing then switch to a full roll before using.

Hi yes the new machine will come with everything but the printer cable you might need in some situations in setting it up. however the first set of ink is like 1/4 the fill of standard ink cartridges I do suggest you consider getting your refills right away. That being said the main reason I personally chose Brother is that it will accept generic filled ink cartridges without all this special bar code stuff other machines do to insure you only are using their brand. So go ahead and buy generic works great for me.

Yes it comes with cartridges. they are not full capacity but they lasted me about 3 months.

no. it comes with photo sheets but you probably want to buy more than what it comes with like I did. i bought in bulk because cheaper that way. there are no ink cartridges or anything you have to deal with.

Yes, it comes with everything you need to start printing. And, it is a toner cartridge, not ink cartridge. I'm sure you ask because a new toner cartridge is half the cost of this printer......Great printer, by the way, we ended up getting four here at work.
