@njudah wtf #hp literally does an account-based #DRM on their printers?
How's that even legal??
Thx for the info!
Now I know to never buy that shit ever...
Aglaia89 🏳️⚧️@Aglaia89 @njudah WTF!?
So people can't even sell their used ink??
Okay, that's it!
#Inkjet printers are now 100% #Scam at best if not #ReducedLifecycle-based, intentional #eWaste and every retailer selling that shit in lieu of #Toner is complicit in the grift!!!
Ink Cartridges Are A Scam
orangejucheIt's why I recommend anyone looking at inkjets to "save money" consider investing just a small bit more to get a black and white laserjet, something from like Brother or something. They're less than a hundred dollars more expensive but the toner doesn't expire and the printing is 10 times faster and 100 times sharper as long as you don't need color.
@orangejuche @Aglaia89 @njudah
Even colour versions like some WorkCentre are fine since toner can't dry up, they have a long support lifetime, can connect to literally everything and are just pleasant to use.
Not to mention that if you look at office surpliers, refurbishers and espechally on eBay, you'll get them for absurdly low prices as good working & used models...
In fact, I never saw them at MSRP - not even new!
@orangejuche @Aglaia89 @njudah And for those people that don't have the money to do that, their print volume is so low, they might just drive to the next copy- or printshop in the next town and get that PDF printed there since that's more economical than paying €€ for a new printer or €€€ for new ink.
