I usually don't like to plug a product, but I ran across this wonderful computer peripheral...an ink-jet printer. But it is not any regular ink-jet...you see, you never have to replace the cartridge on them. They use large container's of ink connected via hoses to the print head, and the large bottles are totally refillable! No more expensive, disposable cartidges...less landfill, and it's even better than that...if one color runs out you just refill it, no need to replace a cartidge!
Basically, they mod Epson Inkjet printers, and then resell them. They are more expensive, sure, but it doesn't take many $50 replacement carts to cover the extra cost! And the ink is cheap too...most carts only hold a fraction of an once, and thus they price out to an amazing $4,500 per gallon. The retrofit system, using large containers of ink cuts the cost down to $480 an ounce...that is an order of magnitude of price difference! You can check out their site here:
