Printing through the university service will cost the same article $2.25 in black ink (€1.60) and $6.25 (€4.40) in colour.
Ben Schwartzwalder, Store Manager, Cartridge World, commented: “Normal turn-around for HP is fairly quick. We usually have [HP cartridges] around already,” adding that by having already-produced cartridges they are capable of exchanging them for the used empty cartridges.
