Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I believe it is wrong to repeatedly order ink cartridges that last with minimal copying, no more than one to two weeks. After purchasing my HP printer, I am dismayed, unable to complete a minimal amount of copying (no more than the average 50 pages) without having to repurchase more cartridges. I always have used HP products and ink, confident that I could complete a reasonable amount of printing without running out of ink. Is this a new corporate ploy by the manufacturer to force their valued customers to buy more expensive ink cartridges? Their so-called special ink replacement plan also is misleading, forcing one to purchase the same inadequate quantity of expensive ink cartridges. This hurts their valued customers who are forced to purchase cheaper and inferior cartridges and force their loyal, valuable customers to purchase their competitor's printers. I will definitely consider this option when I purchase my next printer.
