nope, you cant buy the ink seperately and there is no other paper you can use but the canon that is made for this product. you have to buy the package which contains an ink casset and the paper. the ink and casset will run out together. I suggust buying the 108 which is 3x36 that way the cost is the cheapst. Another size I really like is the wallet size paper but you will also have to buy a tray for that one.

Hello Thank you for sending me your query. One thing. I ordered this Catridge from AMAZON.COM as spare catridge. Still I am using the original catridge which came with the printer. Before buying it, I saw reviews in

What bothered me about this ink was that you needed a chip resetter. You can't just inject the ink and then start printing, its not that simple. You have to buy a refillable ink cartridge that goes with your model, usually about $74.99-$89.99. But yes it does work with said printer, getting it to work and accept it is a different story. Your best bet is to get the refillable cartridge. Pricey but will save money in the long run.

Not being there it is difficult to say about the ink smear. Normally I get my paper from WalMart next to the computer section. Georgia Pacific puts out papers made for the InkJets. I prefer the 24 pound weight paper over the 20 pound weight though it is probably a couple of bucks more expensive. Less hassle, paper absorbs the ink better and it has a decent brightness on it. You will have to look up which HP inks work with your printers. Normally HP provides software to tell you that information on the disk that comes with the computer. I normally do not use recycled ink even though it is cheaper. I find that there are very few bargains put out by HP on ink cartridges. Sam's Club has package deals that are better. Personally I use an 8600 deskjet and it uses 950/951 cartridges. I find it to be a pain to keep changing cartridges so I normally get the XL ones that have the extra ink. My other printer uses 564xl cartridges. The office jets hold more ink and last longer. The 309A photo printer I use strictly for quality printer and not production. HP is greedy. They quit making a triple quantity XL for the office jet because it lasts too long. Personally I think they need to have their heads examined. The greatest attraction to me is cheap ink, cheap but quality printer, and low overhead on everything. Our family could easily wear out a printer if the ink was reasonable. I considered one of the newer laser printers for that reason. Haven't upgraded to one yet. I think the laser cartridges are way too expensive for the average home.

yes, It comes with paper. There is no need to install ink. Not difficult to load. Works well. Read the instructions...

It came with cartridges. So, you do not need to buy them separately until you run out of ink in the cartridges that came with the printer. However, we were printing a lot of colorful "art" projects and got low on ink (certain colors) very fast. It never hurts to have an extra set of cartridges handy!

No real alternatives here. I try to "re-ink" where possible. But with the new chips to track how many pages are printed, it certainly discourages me. Even after I re-ink (or put in new toner), the printer still gives me a message that I am low on ink or that the cartridge needs replacement. Nonetheless, I reuse them a few times and then - just throw them in the trash. I hope others have some better ideas.

Yeah, I was buying ink every month just to print less than 20 pages per month. I finally junked it and bought a HP Office Jet Pro 8600 in June 2013. It's now 2015 and I have not yet replaced the original inks that came with printer. The good thing is you can print b/w when the color ink is out.

I use an HP Photosmart C4780 printer with this paper and it worked great. I also used it with a commercial Kyocera copier/printer and it also worked great.

I have never found just ink. I also have some extra paper but not a whole lot. Just had a lot one time when the ink cartridge jammed.

It's not refillable. Samsung is actively going against refillers and that's why you don't see any offerings at this time.This is now their (Samsung's) business model - sell an inexpensive printer and make bank with the refills. Same as ink printer manufacturers have done for decades. I would not be surprised either if the cartridge was microchipped and refuse to work after a high number of prints...As I noted in my review though, this may work in your favor - if you print sparsely, you get a cheap machine that'll last years without refills (and doesn't clog up like ink printers).

Ken-One of the many reasons I bought this great printer was that it does not need ink.. it uses a thermal paper which imprints in response to heat. Why do you think you need ink? Are you using the correct paper? You can relax and forget about a backup ink supply for this baby!

So, does this come with black and color cartridges? Can you adjust the amount of ink used in printing? Do I have to have special paper for a laser printer? Thanks you.

I was unable to get mine refilled, too. I was able to use the aftermarket new ones, though, which are a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, their shelf life is almost gone by the time you use them, and after a few weeks they go bad. Inkjet Printer ink has a very short shelf life, less than a year. If you do not do a lot of printing, like me, then it's better to do your all your printing in a commercial printer. It's not worthy to have to keep buying ink every two months.

It seems that XP 310 will reject at least some of the generics. I'm experimenting with the ink and the printer does not seem to recognize the new cartridge. We shall see how it pans out later... One thing for sure is that this does not seem to be plug-n-play. :(

I recommend you go with what the printer/copier recommends; then order that product from Amazon. That was I did. I looked at what came with the printer, then order the ink/cartridge from Amazon.
