Inkjet printers are generally sold very cheaply, because the original manufacturer will sell the printer to you at a cost price. In fact, manufacturers do not make money by selling printers. Most of their profits come from the ink cartridges you buy later. Compared with increasing the price of printers to get more profits, manufacturers are more willing to lower the price of the machine to increase market share, and then make back their profits from the ink and other consumables you purchase later.
