I'm sure we weren't the only one, but when we first bought our inkjet photo printer, we actually bought two because it was cheaper to buy two printers at the sale cost, than one printer and a second set of ink cartridges. We also got a free extra print head out the deal (and other parts, of course).
When we were printing large projects (photo calendars for relatives), I seriously looked at some hacks that I found online that piped ink from bottles directly into the printer. A 1L jug of ink was ridiculously cheap - I think around $75. The markup was crazy.
