A set of ink cartridges is included, but buying more cartridges costs as much as the printer. In addition, the use of chips prevents the use of third-party products in the printer. I would advise against buying one. Instead of a printer with ink cartridges, I would recommend a model with ink tanks. They are a little more expensive to buy, but the follow-up costs are much lower because you only have to buy ink tanks. This HP printer with ink tanks comes with a basic supply of ink, which allows up to 18,000 pages of printing in black or up to 8,000 pages in colour. It can also scan.
