I recently (last month) bought a Zerox all - in - one workstation
(copier, scanner, printer, fax) for £199 from PC World  to replace the
copier in our small office. Previous copier cartridges used to last
about 15 months. We already had a LJ1100 running fine so the new Xerox
was only used for copying in the first instance. Our proper office
copier had died, and we had been using a scanner on the PC to do
copies, this was O.K. but quite slow.

The first black cartridge that came with the machine lasted just 
*3 weeks* and the replacement cost £39.95! for less than an egg cup
full of black ink. I just wonder whether the new printer was
deliberately supplied with cartridges with a low ink content so that
the real cost of the workstation is £199.+ £80 (Or maybe more) for a
pair of proper cartridges.

If the current cartridge doesn't have a reasonable life taking into
account how expensive they are I won't be giving any more money to
Xerox I'll just get rid of it.
