Smoking Hot HP 940 for 39.99

[Mondo1287]

The day after thanksgiving Office Depot will have the 940 for 39.99, in store price. The ink catridges alone are worth $65.

FYI, ink cartridges distributed with printers are usually smaller than those sold separately. I'm pretty sure the 940 is no exception.

The 940 does have a smaller color cartridge.

The way HP charges for cartridges, they should be paying us to take their printers home...

Why do you think the printer sells for $40?

That is the reason I am using laser printer. They charge too much for cartridges. You are giving them the money for a laser printer each year.

Why hasn't HP switched to the separate ink tank system like Canon has? I mean $39.99 for a printer is awesome but when I have to pay the same amount just to replace one color, that is just insane, stupid, ridiculous, etc.

In the long run all HP printers with the tri-color tank is definately not hot...

Just my 2 cents.

This printer uses the same ink cartridges as my HP 930c. I just refilled both the black cartridge and the "tri-color" cartridges by myself for $2.95 for the black and $3.25 x 3 for the single color cartridge. Not a bad deal I must say, the ink looked exactly the same as the original manufacturer's ink. I didn't think the color cartridge would work since it had been sitting out of the printer for a good 7 months and must have been dried out, but it worked fine. The kits and refill ink at InkSell.com I can definately recommended, no affiliation whatsoever. So I would say that this will be quite a hot deal if it happens.

Great deal, thanks! I've been refilling my DJ 932C with an ink kit from null and that's been working out pretty good. $30 for a 16oz kit (4oz of each color, plus syringes and gloves). Still running the original cartridges from at least a year ago, LOL.

FACT:

HP makes the majority of its income on ink cartridges.

This will make for a good Christmas present. Just be sure and tell the person where to get the cheap ink refills

ShowdOWN, that statement I'd think would be true for any true for any inkjet manufacturer. Canon, Epson, Lexmark, etc..

Profit margins are as high as 70% for ink cartridges, about 5-10% (if that much) for the printer itself.
