Mr-Protocol Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 In my opinion, printers are obsolete and disposable now. It's cheaper to buy a new printer than it is to refill ink it seems. Quote

winsor444 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) The companies don't make any money selling the printers to consumers. They make their money selling the INK cartridges that is why they implement EEPROM chips to prevent their customers from using refill kits and continue to get ripped off using their ink. It's just like going to gas station and only being able to use one type of gas because the nozzle was designed to be square and your car only fits a circular nozzle therefore you can't use it even though it's the same type of gas.
