It was like double or better in price compared to those other pieces of crap but the peace of mind and saving me time is worth it alone. I think it's going to be more economical too. It comes with the ink bottles to fill it up. I have used mine a lot and probably would have used about three black cartridges and the black ink level on this new one is only down about a tenth of a tank. I got an okay deal from Amazon, the local office stores wanted like a hundred or more dollars extra for it.

The large ink capacity was my reason for the purchase (about 8 months) but have been surprised because I haven't once had to clean the head yet.
Maybe I will do that now just to be on the safe side
