A:Answer According what I was told it comes with a 2 year supply of ink and you do not have to fill it up completely, If it dries in the computer use a q-tip with alcohol to clean it out. After 2 years the entire supply will dry up. Replacement for a 2 year supply is $51 at this time, I hope the 2 year statement is true because I don't print nearly as much as I did at one time.
