Guess what time of the week it is!

I'm almost certain the pigment ink is the culprit, because only black seems to clog.

Where can I find a single black refillable cart for the XP3205?

Seriously, #HP #InstantInk combines all the worst features of #subscriptions and #ManagedServices like #ManagedPrintServices with neither benefits.

• Cuz #MPS for #businesses meant that a business gets a 5-6 digit, extremely fast, production-grade printer and only pays for the #consumeables and maybe setup & availability (similar to #utilities) and in return they don't have to worry and in case of problems call the #ServiceProvider instead.

This is how #TriumpfAdler stays in business: You can't buy their office multifunction systems, but only get them as a subscription through a #ServiceProvider.

• Now this makes sense for a copy/fax/print/scan monster that needs to be forklifted and can spit out triple-digit pages per minute: Not every business is willing or able to sink 5+ digits into that, and instead is happy to pay like 9-19¢ per page + a monthly base fee for that, because #accounting hates having to 'depreciate an asset / investment'.

But for #consumer devices like an #Inkjet #Printer, this is just shafting them when instead of being a convenience (like getting #ink mailed) it's leveraged as a means to prevent the #buyer from being an #owner.

• It's like if a #CreditCard provider used for paying for #fuel prevents car owners from refueling a car if they want to buy gasoline (or diesel or whatever) from a different gas station that their service isn't covering.

It's not as if #HPinstantInk means one gets a "#free" Printer / (or even #MultifunctionPrinter) in return like a "full service #leasing" with #cars, but rather it feels as if a car manufacturer can just decide to repo your car the moment you don't extend your "Extended Warranty Service" for another year...

• Personally, I think #InkjetPrinters should be #outlawed and instead people should just get a used #Laser / #LED printer instead.

The rampant #Enshittification is why I'd love to see a reguar "#2Dprinter" to be #OpenSource'd!

• Seriously, #3Dprinting is way harder and at least #Inkjet designs should be in the cards!

Why do #TechIlliterates keep buying #InkjetPrinters?

You don't hate #Printers, but #InkjetPrinters!

• Because #InkCartridges are the #scam...

"#LaserPrinters" (or rather #LED-Printers) don't have that issue...

• Get yourself a #surplus'd old #Xerox #WorkCentre and you'll stick with it for decades to come...
