OT - non-HP ink

[Mord Behar]

My parents have a 5600 series printer and tried to use third party
cartridges. I'm not sure on the details, but my father has sworn off them
and now buys original HP ink.
I have a F2480 and also only buy original HP ink.
Anecdotally, I have heard that while third party cartridges are cheaper,
they print less pages per cartridge. I'm sorry to say that I don't have a
reliable source for this or any way to run the numbers, but presumably, in
the long run, non-HP ink doesn't pay.
