We worked out that printer ink cartridges cost about 6 times more than Dom Perignon vintage champagne. Crazy isn’t it?
A bottle of the famous bubbly costs about £130 or 17p per ml (750 ml’s in a bottle). And a set of large printer ink cartridges cost (on average) £60 or £1 per ml (about 60 ml in a set of big ones).
And did you know? The average family (without realising) will purchase 4 sets of printer ink cartridges each year. Spending £240 in the process.
It’s even worse for a small business, charity and school classroom. As (on average) they print a lot more and purchase a set of printer ink cartridges every month. Spending £720 every year.
Bet you never thought it would be cheaper to print with Dom Perignon vintage champagne…
Although there is an alternative…

Is there anything else (other than Infinity) that can make printer ink (let alone vintage champagne) cartridges look cheap in comparison? And while were on this subject, here’s some other examples that we found…
Chanel No.5 is 61 times more expensive than Dom Pérignon champagne
A small 7.5ml bottle of Chanel No.5 costs about £80. Making a wine bottle’s-worth a fantastical £8000.
My wife tells me Agent Provocateur knickers are 10 times more expensive than silver
She says a pair of Agent Provocateur knickers weigh 10 grams and cost £70. The knickers comprise 525 sq cm of fabric, giving a cost per square metre of £1,333.
Valued by weight, the knickers cost around £200 an ounce (28.35 grams). Which is about 17 times the current £12.35 an ounce price of silver. While worth 17 times their own weight in silver, the knickers are just a fifth of their weight in gold (£978.22 an ounce).
Viagra is almost 6 times more expensive than gold
They say size doesn’t matter. But that doesn’t stop some men paying for it! 4 x 50mg tablets of Viagra cost (on average) £40. Making 1 gram of Viagra cost £200. The current price of gold is £34.50 a gram making Viagra 5.8 times its own weight in gold.
Cinema popcorn is more expensive than extra special Aberdeen Angus fillet steak
A 100g bag of popcorn is about £5.00 at Cineworld. Working out at 5p a gram or £50.00 per kilo. And extra special Aberdeen Angus fillet steak on sale at ASDA costs £34.00 per kilo. Making a kilo of cinema popcorn a massive £16 more expensive. Wow!
Cheaper to fly from Gatwick Airport than park
It costs £25 for the first day and £20 for any subsequent days to use the Gatwick long-stay facility. Making it an eye watering £145 a week just to park. But 2 people flying from Gatwick to Dublin with Ryanair can leave at 8:10am on Wednesday 20th June, return a week later and pay a total of £59.96 for their tickets. A whopping £85.04 less than the parking. Unbelievable when you think about it.
1 year in prison is more expensive than 1 year at The Midland in Manchester
The government (us) pay £80,000 a year to keep our most dangerous people in prison. But during June (Tripadvisor) it’s possible to book a room at The Midland for £198 a night. Which means you could stop for a whole year for less than price (£72,270) of a 12-month sentence.
To summarise…
Hopefully our comparisons have given you something to think about, and whether it’s for your home, a small business, charity or school classroom our Infinity printing solution can bring the price of printing documents, leaflets, posters and photographs down to a manageable level. Certainly cheaper than printing with Dom Perignon vintage champagne.
