With both my old HP and Epson printers I used compatible cartridges, the story that Epson blocked the use of third party cartridges is wrong there was a way around it, I never paid the full whack for genuine ones.
For my current HP Envy 5646 I have an 'Instant ink' supply contract, costs me £1.99 per month for 50 pages, the printer tells HP when ink is needed and it arrives in the post in good time to change, also has a prepaid envelope to send the empties back.
There are a range of price options if you need more pages and if you only occasionally need to go over 50 you can add ten more for £1.00
