It's $34.99, comes with a new razor and 17 Titanium blades.
There's plenty of cheaper options.

I just installed a CISS in my Canon. $40 for a 2-year supply of ink can’t be beat.
For years i have used old Lexmark printers, z22, and now z32 and z705, which, like old ford 390 engines i used to have, burn a lot of “oil,” but are very easy to refill. And using bulk ink for about 1.50 peer ounce, it cost about 1.00 per refill if you factor in the cart.
The best buy on ink used to be from alotofthings.com, but they abruptly stopped, yet http://www.oddparts.com/ is a Christian company which sells the correct ink, and i have found pigment based black ink for my Lexmark model on ebay that works ok.
Same with real or remanufactured carts (7.00), and i have refilled the black at least 25 times before they quit. Some of the remanufactured ones had a whoiler sponge, which Lexmark carts used to have.
Color carts do not last as long.
To refill the black cart, put a hole in the top front (above the cartridge head) middle using a small hot nail, and use a syringe (the cooking baster type they sell at some dollar stores are legal and work fine) to inject about half an ounce of ink into the cart. Use gloves, and hold over a liberal newspaper when filling.
Soak toilet tissue in hot water and press against the bottom of the head if needed to get ink flowing, but never leave carts outside printer without sealing the heads with tape.
Lexmark are not the best printers, and they went out of the inket business, but if you see any old ones are a yard sale that work, this may be a viable way to save money.
That’s funny. I still have my Okidata microline 320 and it still works. I think I bought one new ribbon in the time I used it. I still see some companies use them for invoices and things.
I find myself increasing going paperless and only rarely print anything, but I could see some still might need hard copies. Printers could be on the extinction list much like fax machines.
For service life, they can't be beat. But setting up the alignment for printing checks and pre-printed invoices and forms will drive you to drink.
I just took my second dose of that last night. I've been on Humira, and the normal dose wasn't helping anymore, so I'm now taking a shot every week, but it's still barely working for me. My Gastro Dr is hoping that it will improve the effectiveness of the Humira.

does it make you feel ill???
ping for later...
I would have to agree with you there. I just use mine for hard core print a lot of pages
Small doses usually can be tolerated pretty well. The higher doses, not so much.
Refill your ink cartridges!
Walmart, Sam’s & online stores sell ink refill kits. Online store sell new, empty cartridges specifically designed for easy refilling. Some have extra large cartridges that go FOREVER without needing a refill/
My HP Photosmart wireless printer is a piece of crap. Cartridges are relatively cheap but they don’t last long. Besides poor performance, HP’s bloatware software and frequent crashes from network connectivity, my biggest objection is that the printer will not accept refilled cartridges - apparently the cartridges have a chip in them that tells the printer they are empty even if it has ink in it. If I had known this upfront I would not have bought it. No more HP products for me.
They used to make kits for this that worked well with some older printers. I had one for my old Canon BJC-240.
There was a small drill bit on a plastic head, you’d drill out the plug carefully at the edge, set it aside. Use the accordion-syringe to inject the ink into the plug port, til the “sponge” wouldn’t soak any more in. Then, instead of just putting the plug back in, and redrilling next time resulting in the plug being destroyed after 2-3 times, take a bit of string, wrap it around the bottom of the plug, and pass it up the groove made by the drill so the end stuck out, and tape it down with a bit of scotch tape as a small amount of wicking was inevitable and it kept your hands cleaner.
We indelicately called this departure from the directions “tamponing” and it would allow a single cart to last until you screwed it up, basically. 10+ uses was pretty normal.
