@Parker51 Occasionally I also use #inkcartridges, especially when I'm not at home. However, I take the empty cartridges home to wash out and #refill them. Again and again as often as possible.
But I much prefer converters and #ink glasses at my desk at home. 
You don't hate #Printers, but #InkjetPrinters!
"#LaserPrinters" (or rather #LED-Printers) don't have that issue...

Via @arstechnica: #HP started bricking #printers with third-party #InkCartridges *years* before it commissioned the sole (theoretical) #security research justifying it.
It's not about #CyberSecurity. It’s about protecting their #RecurringRevenue from #ink and pushing customers into their #InstantInk subscription program.
HP disables customers’ printers if they use ink cartridges from cheaper rivals
HP has sparked fury after issuing a #firmware update which blocks customers from using cheaper, non-HP ink cartridges in its printers.
Customers’ devices were remotely updated in line with new terms which mean their printers will not work unless they are fitted with approved #inkcartridges

@TweekySenior It's kind of Epson to provide a handy way of knowing when you are achieving your goal, isn't it?
