Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Out of interest do most people purchase authentic printer ink made by brand of printer you own (bloody expensive) or go for the aftermarket option?

If you do the latter where is the best place you've found to order from?

In Thailand is is easy to get continuos ink printers. Basically a canon eg retrofitted with ink containers. You buy the bottles for very little and you don't have to throw out a cartridge that is 3/4 full because a certain colour is missing. A pain to move because of potential spillage but for what you get worth it. An average a4 colour pixma here costs around 60.00 dollars fully loaded and a 500 ml bottle of ink about 5 dollars Lasts years unless used all the time. No cartridges. Obvious why the manufacturers do not readily provide this option. Surprised it isn't more prevalent but then the suppliers of consumables don't want them either.

Australian consumers are getting ripped off. The ACCC are again asleep at the wheel

New only in Australia. They work well and you don't have that problem of banging the cartridges to get the thing working.

Too true! I went to Officeworks last week to buy ink (Woolies had run out of the cheap knock offs) and it was $127 for a pack. They had printers there for $30.
