so it doesn't come with ink either?

They normally come with one cartridge. The converter must be ordered separately. Ink/cartridge/converter use is highly individualized so most nice pen makers leave that up to the consumer. I use a converter and bought a bottle of Lamy black ink and the pen works very well. There are about a dozen manufacturers of ink on the market with scores of colors. Fine pen web sites will be easier to use than Amazon to see and compare all the choices, but Amazon may be less expensive. Connoisseurs of liquid ink take color, water proof(ness), smear resistance and performance/appearance (tone, density, artistic impression) on high quality paper into account when making their choices.

it does. It comes with an ink cartridge. I just used the refillable cartridges so I can use my own ink.

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, there are no ink cartridges, the pictures are created with lasers. Super cool, huh?!

No you do not. The paper used with this printer is special paper. This printer does not need an ink cartridge. Just use the special paper for the machine.

Not sure what your question is? This printer does not use ink, it uses toner.

No, you have to buy a higher model to get that. The printer itself is pretty good, but seems a bit sensitive to third party ink.

It comes with one black ink and one color ink cartridge and instructions and a disc. There is no paper included.

There is starter ink provided. Be sure not to buy the photo version of the 564 cartridges. They don't fit in the printer.

Mine came with no ink cartridges, so I sent it back. Since this model is silent as to whether it includes cartridges, assume that it will not include any cartridges.

There was no extra ink other than just what it came with. However, it's been about a year that I've had it and the ink supply is still going well.

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

I haven't needed any ink. But if you can't find it on Amazon, I would go to the company's website.

Yes the printer requires having ALL ink cartridges installed (and none empty) to print, if you run out of a color you cannot print (even in black) until the color cartridge is replaced..

Nope. Just the black ink cartridge so far, and the other ink cartridges are getting low and will need to be replaced soon. Other than that, all has been A-OK for many months with this printer. (And I've had about 10 HP Deskjets and similar models since the original in the 1990s. I've never had to replace any ink service module in any printer.)

Mine did not come with any ink. No starter or regular cartridges. On the box it says that it includes a black cartridge and a color cartridge, but there were no ink cartridges in the box. It uses PG-245 & PG-245XL (Black) and PG-246 & PG-246XL (Color) cartridges. Maybe some people got lucky and received ink with theirs, but I certainly wouldn't count on it. The cheapest ink cartridge you can get for it is the PG-245 Black ink cartridge and it's $16.99 here on Amazon.

As I recall (I've slept since then)....it does come with ink cartridges but you might need to buy a printer cable? Although we did purchase new cartridges fairly soon after buying the unit so thee cartridges are probably not filled all the way. What do you expect for under $40?. :)

This item that I have for sale is used and it does not come with ink. However, the printer cable is included and you normally don't get the cable when you purchase it new.
