This nonsense has got to stop. Inkjet printers are by far the worst business model ever conceived by greedy manufactures. I am outraged!

Rhino horn and inkjet ink are the new currency.

Gold is for geezers and idiots.

Not only is the ink expensive but the printers report that you're out of ink when they know full well that there is plenty. I read that the cartridges are dated or something and the printers report them as empty after a year regardless.

Yes! My sisters printer came up with a message 'ink expired' which completely set me off. Expired my hairy assnut! Barely enough ink to print 100 pages and now they expire? Shit!

I'm laughing at the suckers who got on my case for buying a laser printer 3 years ago. I'm still using the same toner cartridge after they've gone through a number of inkjet printers and cartridges. They couldn't believe I would spend $350 for a printer when I could buy a Suxmark or Hewlett-Crapard for $24.99 and get a free ink cartridge!

Ancient LaserJet 3 for B&W.

Color is printed through whichever printer is clearanced/rebated for under $10. When it runs out of ink, we just buy another one.

Its really horrible. printers are just ink dispensing machines

Never trust those color printers that cost just a few bucks. They make their money on the ink!
