Just to chime in here...

It is the sole reason. Cleaning ink jet jets takes a lot of ink and they 
do count on this to sell more ink.

Excellent argument for Color Laser printers.

I used to get ink cartridges once every 30-45 days making for an 
expensive proposition.
Since I purchased a laser it is every 3-4 months for toners, and I print 
every day.


Since the price of Color Lasers have gone down, way down, then the whole 
idea of color ink jet is obsolete!!!!
