how much do you pay for your L26500 ink in Canada?

[bigben]

I would like to know how much my fellow Canadians pay for their ink for a HP L26500? I was paying 134$cnd/cartridge and now it's 160$cnd/cartridge. I know the Canadian dollar suck and HP rise their prices, but it's a bit steep don't you think?

I had the same increase for my L65500, I was paying 270$ and got raised to 300$ on a 3L.

I'm not from Canada but where I come from I don't pay for ink
my customers pay that bill.
I'm shocked at the prices you pay/.

Ya I get it at the end of the day the customer pays the Ink in a per square foot manner, with profit on it.
Can you share your pricing ? It would be interesting to compare.

I don't buy HP ink but I know our 800ml Canon/Oce ink has gone up from $250 to $280 just this year.

Roland Eco-Sol is now up to $147 / 440ml.

I hope our dollar turns around one of these days...not that the prices will ever reflect that though.

WOW, that's expensive Pat, I thought mine was expensive. For my Mimaki I Pay 130$ a liter (Bulk Ink system).

That's a good deal! I've considered switching to 3rd party ink on our Rolands but we don't print enough to justify the risk. As much as it sucks to see the price keep rising it's amazing how much printing you can get done with a full cartridge/bag. I re-order when we get to 10% usually and I'll still print for up to a couple of weeks before having to switch them out.

I was thinking the same in the beginning, but the Bulk system payed for it self many times in the long run. I got it like 6 years ago, and since its a pump and cartridge system I never got a bad head because of it.
My bulk is not sold anymore but it looks something like this.

$149.00 per 440 cart of eco-sol inks for Roland in Saskatchewan here or $137.50 if buying whole set.

As for 3rd party ink. I use only 1 set of carts every month and half. So for me its not worth risking equipment for it.
