It's funny how useful and grin inducing having a nearly unlimited supply of cheap ink is. One of my friends needed lots of different colors of construction paper to make some paper projects. And her jaws just dropped when I said don't bother buying any I'll just print what you need, I have some heavy thickness paper and I'll just print whatever colors you need, even if she wanted leopard print which I ended up printing anyways. It's amazing how much of a stranglehold printer ink has on peoples' perception. By her reaction to me printing page after page of solid colors you'd have thought she was thinking I was burning $100 bills. I told her my printer needed the exercise anyways since it's been almost a week since I printed anything. I had to show her the CISS in the back of the printer that made it all possible. She wanted one too but I told her they were too fiddly and require regular maintenance, and just recently I had to reprime mine cause I was uncomfortable with the amount of air in the cartridges. So I told her it probably wasn't a good idea to just go out and buy a CISS unless you're really dedicated to printing.
