Most printers include a full set of ink cartridges in the box when you purchase them but keep in mind that they are usually starter cartridges. These starter cartridges are meant to get your brand new printer up and running for the first time. They contain less ink than standard yield cartridges and usually last for only two weeks, even if you don’t print frequently. That means you’ll have to order a new set of ink cartridges sooner than expected.
