You want to look for inkjet cartridges that are high yield. Meaning that they will yield more pages than a regular cartridge. You'll be hard pressed for the yields of cartridges these days; because there isn't an industry standard, different companies will give a yield while others won't or even if you do get the yields you can't really compare them! Be sure they give you the yield in 5% & 15% yields. 5% is your standard business letter (for the black cartridge) and 15% is your standard business letter plus a 3 x 5 image (for the color cartridge.)

Buying over the web is a great idea, but you better make sure you aren't buying a refilled or refurbished cartridge, or a refill kit. If you are going to spend a lot of money on purchasing a printer you don't want to void your warranty by using a cartridge that could possibly damage your printer anyway!
And of course, if you don't plan on using your cartridges often be prepared for them to dry out & have to buy new ones! Inkjet cartridges should be used at least once a week so you get your full usage out of them! And when you print @ a higher resolution you can guarantee you'll run out of ink quicker!
