We’ve got something new to add to the “printer ink is more expensive than” list. Now it is more expensive than gasoline.

According to a story in the Lakeland Ledger (Florida) a gallon of manufacturer brand ink is more expensive than a gallon of gasoline. IF you were to buy a gallon of manufacturer brand ink (ink made by HP, Dell, Epson, Lexmark, Canon, etc) it would cost you somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000. What’s a gallon of gas going for today, somewhere between $3.00 and $3.50? Quite a difference. This puts printer ink right up there as one of the most expensive liquids in the world.

Another comparision . . . Imaging driving up to a gas pump and paying $13 for a teaspoon of gas - that’s what you pay for a teaspoon of printer ink.

Let Pacific Ink know what you think about the high cost of printer ink.
