Hey Elise,
 
There's 2 cartridges, one black, and one that has 5 colors and the clear
coat.  I felt the same way about single color cartridges until I started
using this printer.  The ink is so cheap and lasts sooo long the single
cartridge no longer concerns me, and the cartridges can be recycled, which
I do.  The prints I do are full bleed hi res prints that only cost 30c for
that print.  The quality is so high I've had professional photographers ask
what lab I use to print these pages and they are surprised to learn I do it
myself.  I've done about 250  prints this month alone so far and am
considering getting a second one to keep up with demand.   Also, I use a
variety of papers depending on what level of saturation I want.  Kodak has a
line of papers, also inexpensive and depending on which one you use you can
get even more prints out of the cartridge.  There are subtle lines on the
back of the paper that tells the printer how much ink to lay down.  I don't
worry about that as I'm doing printing for specific jobs...transfers, photo
prints, decoupage projects.   
 
Also, Kodak did extensive research to put the levels of ink where they
needed to be for the whole cartridge to empty at about the same time.  The
first & third cartridges I ran through I opened to confirm there was no
color left and each well was dry.  
 
I run out of ink soo infrequently as compared to all other printers I've
ever used.
