Why So Little? By Chris Kong on Sep 12, 2007 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

After seeing a promotion where we can get a new Epson stylus C59 by just giving them any old printer , I decided to give away my old Canon BJC -1000SP in exchange of Epson Stylus C59. The reason I give away my old Canon is because the ink cartridge is too expensive . One original black cartridge costs RM 90. Hence instead of buying the Canon catridge ,with just an extra of RM 50 I can have a new set of printer with ink.

But this new Epson has so little ink in the catridge even though they claim that we can save because the colours are in 4 different compartments with four different colours, yellow, cyan , blue and black . But the problem is the ink finish so fast because it has so little ink in the catridge and each cartrige costs RM 25 for original ink. At the end of the day it is as expensive as Canon in terms of printing!!!
