First you have to have a swamp and raise some giant plants, let them die, 
let eons of deposits (water, dirt, rocks) bury them under enormous 
pressure, then mine the coal, and make the ink....

Probably easier to buy it...

PS, All of the major printer companies give away printers at break even or 
a loss. They make soooo much money on ink (all inks) that they can afford 
to give away printers just to sell ink. For instance, the single item that 
contributes the 'most' to HP's bottom line is.... ink sales. Likewise with 
Lexmark and Epson.
