HP are one of the worst on ink. I am a big fan of Canon printers, but this is because I like to print photos and they have some of the best machines for that. Do you want an all-in-one, photo printer, or simply a color printer? And yes after 6 months ink will dry up. You should print something every week or two to keep it fresh. Did you ever consider laser? The toner will not dry out for years and much more economical.

I pay roughly $60 for new cartridges for my canon IP500 printer, but the cartridges are 3x the size of HP. Don't be fooled by the price of the tri color cartridges by HP once you factor in how much ink per color is actually in the cartridge. Also, the Epson machines are solid, but the print quality isn't there IMO.
