It's size is incredibly convinient. Well as to ink cartridges, 500 pages is a pile of paper about 2 1/2 inches tall I'd say, for how fast this printer prints, and the unlikelyhood of you doing a large print job on it, I can't see replacements running up your bill quickly. The cartridges I bought with an educational discount were $17. I'm sure that in almost no time at all there will be 3rd party cartridges for under $10, I mean think about it, you can still order an Imagewriter ribbon from apple for some where about $20, or you can pick up 6 (supposedly) lesser quality ribbons for the same price at your local store or mail order. I am even more happy with this printer than I thought I would be. If you need a printer that can do LASER QUALITY at 360 dpi, and aren't printing 50 page documents, this is THE printer to buy! Todd
