I don't know of one, and would certainly like to cut down on the cost of constantly replacing those suckers. BUT - I'd be concerned about the question of whether the ink formulation is really identical, or whether it's just the color that's the same. Because I assume that if the formulation isn't identical, there's no way to know what's going to happen in terms of image fade and color shift. B.

After all the talk about superb b&w prints from the HP7960, I, an impressionable sort, was struck helpless this weekend when OfficeMax advertised the 7960's successor, the 8450, for $249, less a $20 instant price cut. Shifty retailers that they are, they'd already made sure my desk was littered with a discount card for an additional $10 off. Plus they're going to send me a $30 gift card. In my simple, easily rationalized world, that's $60 OFF! Or $189, if my old math doesn't fail me. Helpless, I was. And right, you were. Excellent b&w prints. This printer's b&w output, alone, could be enough to make me starting liking HP, again, after perpetrating the LaserJet 3100 on the world. As was also mentioned, it is an ink hog. Is there a source for refills, especially of the HP100 Gray cartridge? -Chris Lawson _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
