This ink should be free and yet, it would be theft because the other cartridges are required. This black cartridge can be found in supermarkets, the 'multipack' is useless without the cartridge. The printer price is worth to buy but quickly becomes a scam since the printer is not working, if one of the cartridges is not installed. Result, a Sunday night, you want to print your presentation the next day, and there just happened to PBK cartridge is empty. There is more to appear ridiculously announcing that your printer has been programmed by a fool.
