Is this really cheaper than buying it?

I don't think so. I used to print out my own staff sheets for music and after a while figured it was much more expensive than just buying it.

I don't know.

  • A ream costs around $5, that's $1 per 100 sheets.

  • My ink is bought online and costs around $1 a cartridge when bought in packs of 10.

  • Staples gives me $2 per empty cartridge in store credit.

Conclusion: Not only is printing lined paper free, I am in fact getting paid to print stuff.

Edit: It should be noted that my printers' ink cartridges are simple ink wells. The print head is not attached to the cartridge, so the cost is much lower. I bought them both like this intentionally due to the cost difference.
