    In retrospect, I would have splurged for a printer that was capable of printing things borderlessly.

    If you regret purchasing a printer that doesn’t have an Eco Tank, you can still buy replacement ink and refill it yourself with kits that cost less than a new cartridge. The only thing more eco-friendly than buying an eco-friendly printer, is to not buy a new printer at all.

    The price per milliliter of bottled ink is basically nothing compared to the price per milliliter of cartridge ink.

      Both of my local libraries offer printing at $0.25 a page. For photos, I just go to the photo lab at the store and print them there.

      Both are cheaper than owning a printer unless you’re doing a ton of it, and in the former case, I get to support a library just a little bit.

        That’s not a bad idea either if you don’t have a printer to start off with. By circumstance, I do, so that’s my method of making the most of it.

        I promise, however, to throw quarters at my local librarian when I next get the chance, expecting nothing in return
