Unless your work requires you to print out a lot. You can run through a cartridge printing out a single manuscript for a novel.

There's also things like artificial expiration dates, saying that cartridges are out of ink when they're still half full, and the fact that, for low-end deskjets, you can literally throw the printer away and go buy another one (with ink) cheaper than you can replace the cartridges.

Ink also dries up in the cartridge if you don't print for a while
