I just bought an ink jet printer from Dell for printing photos. If you scan the offerings in printers at Dell, you'll find half-to three quarters of some categories are "temporarily out of stock." That's the supply chain gummed up for Dell. The printer I wanted was a little less typical and a bit more expensive than most of them (I wanted more ink colors and the "eco-tank" large capacity - so I paid full price for the printer because I won't be buying expensive little ink cartridges. When you buy cheap printers with cartridges you pay for the printer several times over via expensive ink). Amazon had it listed also, it isn't out of stock. Yet. But I decided this wasn't the year to wait and put it on my xmas wish list. By December they are liable to be out of stock.
