As technology advances, printers are becoming more dependable, while printing supplies are becoming more affordable. The early days of inkjet cartridges were very frustrating, with replacement cartridges being costly. The alternative to high prices was messy refill kits, which often produced inferior printing. The current pricing on inkjet cartridges is much more budget friendly, and the quality of inks in brand name products is more dependable. Inkjet printers remain the predominant choice of consumers due to the low costs and great quality.
