I always thought that was a bit misleading. That's not the price for just the ink, that's also the cartridge body and sensitive electronics (the print head, nozzles). That part actually used to be part of the printer itself, but now you purchase one every time you need more ink. It's not just a small resevoir of ink.
Long story short, ink is cheap. The cartridge isn't.
