I'd agree with the exception of artists who sell their printed work (ex: photographers, graphic designers). They're not only making money from their prints but also printing in color frequently enough that the cartridge doesn't dry out.

All the photographers I know have a deal with a local professional printing service. It's not just the higher printing quality, the service can also do bound albums, hard covers and other stuff that's impossible on a home printer.
