I've been following the printer/scanner market for some years now, and one of the industry's dirty little secrets -- well, it's really not that secret -- is the fact that vendors make their money not on the printers themselves, but on the cartridges, paper, and other consumables. Have you added up what you pay in toner and/or ink cartridges a year? Scary, isn't it?
Now, Kodak is going to buck that trend -- and if it succeeds, it may become a significant player in the printer game. According to Kodak, it will be introducing a line of all-in-one inkjet printers -- the EasyShare 5100, 5300, and 5500 -- that will offer black ink cartridges at $9.99 each and five-ink color cartridges at $14.99 each. That's a lot less than most other inkjet cartridges. (I remember having to shell out almost $30 for one printer's cartridges.)
