The TR8520 has an okay inkjet cartridge system. Its color cartridges make it easy to replace only the color you’ve run out of, which is convenient. Although this printer doesn’t yield a lot of black pages, its color cartridges perform much better: if you like printing out pictures for your scrapbook, then you should be able to get a lot printed before you run out of ink. There are also high-yield cartridges available if you want to increase your print yield.
This printer will accept third-party cartridges, but this could void its warranty, and special attention must be paid as this printer uses a combination of dye and pigment-based inks.
