I do keep blacks (photo and matte) in reserve as those are the most used. Another reason to not keep ink on hand is that it may be months between changing a specific color. I think not keeping it around leads to "fresher" ink -- but that's just a guess on my part. If you calculate the cost per ml of ink, I think you'll find the 3800 to be a good value. At the time I purchased mine (about 18 months ago), the price difference between the 2800 and the 3800 was more than made up by the extra volume of ink that comes with the 3800. It's my understanding that while the 3800 cartridge costs three times as much as a 2800 cartridge, it hold five time the volume of ink. The same relationship is true if you compare the 3800 to the 48xx and 78xx series. The bigger the printer, the lower the cost per ml of ink.

Its not a comment that you accidently ran out, but is it more economical to just buy em as u need em. The cost the ink for the 3800 is the one thing that stops me from scraping my trusty 2200 and move on up to the bigs. Love yer blog thanks. so is it not economical to keep a full set of spare cartriges around the office?
