I wouldn't have a Kodak one as a gift to be honest. However cheap the cartridges are the colour is still one cartridge and I think they are always a false economy as you could throw one away because the yellow has gone but still have the red and blue half full. If Kodak bring one out that is single tanks that can be changed independently of each other I'd consider one, but only then. My cartridges work out at £42 for the whole set, which about twice the price of the Kodak two together, admittedly, but I'm not throwing away one cartridge when another is half full still. Works out as short as it's long in my mind.
