About 30% price increase on average since the beginning of 2012 to make the previously good and cheap inkjet printer from HP is now more or less economical. I paid previously for all four ink cartridges in the XL design virtually always less than 55 euros, I am now going on at least 73,90 euros. This corresponds to 34% price increase. Judging by official HP SureSupply prices, so I must pay more than 55% for a few milliliters of ink in the worst case. The black ink cartridge has become more than 25% more expensive, the "small" Value Pack with additional sheets of paper more than 40%. Very, very bad, which is then probably been my last HP inkjet printer, even if it has now done two and a half years of good service to me, and probably his successor for my purposes are likely to be more than adequate. But if one has with such price increases can be expected after nearly two years in consumables, this is probably not an option for new purchases more. And, although the printer and ink were always exalted by the highest quality and all doubt!
