If you use high quality ink, and replace the cartridge after maybe 5 uses, it is no big deal. My ink refill kit for $60 from MIS Supply lasted almost 3 years. I went through the black far faster than the color, and they usually have 2-3x as much black in the kits.
Now this depends on your individual printer, but the black carts on my 800/850/740 are rather large, and they need to sit for 12 hours before use to let the air bubbles float up and let the foam fully saturate, so rotating carts is a really good idea. The tri-color cart has smaller partitions, and isn't a problem. My Photo 1200 6 ink printer has small tanks, so there isn't a problem with them either.
