A refill kit costs CAD $29.95 (CAD$ 34 with taxes). That's good for three or four refills. The problem is that unlike the Epson or Canon there is no linux utility to verify when the ink is running low, except via the quality of the output. If you *overfill* the cartridge, however, it becomes TOTALLY useless, and your ink economy is a loss...
