that's where Epson printers, such as L800/L805, with integrated (or separate, depends on how you look on it) 6-color ink tank shine.

How about reading the manual? >:D And some websites make it simple by allowing to select the printer for which you want to buy a cartridge.

I just opened the tray and found the number I needed. HP 216A :-DD
Was doing the search to find the prices for replying here and just used the printer model number and google returned the one I linked. To bad, definitely not the correct ones :palm:
The correct compatible ones are 150 euros. But hey still better then the original HP ones at > 240 euros.
Don't know if I will ever need them.

I have a 15-ish year old Brother laser printer that I still use. You can't beat the cost of ownership of that. :popcorn:

Crikey! My 15 year old Canon (7 inks: CcMyYKK — CMY + light cyan and magenta, photo black, and pigment black) prints an A4 photo in around 4 minutes.
