Jerry ,

This is commercial practice -look real hard HP, Canon ect are all
using this way to balance off the profit stream.  Commercial practice
means that you have to make money to cover your cost and profits for
the folks who own the company otherwise there is just no point in
doing it is there.  A rip off is when they sell you the ink that does
not work at all literally money for nothing. 

At your work palce if you really want to be honest - there is a little
race between your boss and you as to who can the most out of the
other. Be honest about it. 






 Of Course they have a right to charge whatever they want. But look
