"High capacity refillable" ink-jet printers the BIGGEST SCAM going

Seen 'em? They take what is a dirt-cheap $40 printer body, add some big ink tanks and jack-up the price to $250 or so. Incredible audacity. https://www.dpreview.com/news/774575...ters-in-the-uk I refilled my HP inkjet tanks (which were separate from the jets) for years until the arbitrary eol dates embedded in the chips kicked in. Then I swore off two things. 1. Color printers, and, 2. Ink printers. Now I just use a B&W laser printer which, when it needs refills, I buy off the net, and open a hole in the top with the special solder hole tool, and I refill it for two or three refills. Almost never do we need color at home. If we really need color, there are print shops everywhere. |
