Ink cartridges for your printer are expensive because that's how printer manufacturers make their profit, not because the ink is actually expensive.
The GPO uses actual presses. 5 minutes of Googling finds 5 pound cans of opaque blacks (what you'd want for printing pages of text) going for $25-60. A five pound can of ink goes a lot farther than a cartridge for an inkjet printer.Printer ink really is crazy expensive though. There must be a better solution to home printing than what we've got now.
