Printer Ink, It's a SCAM

Fstoppers on YouTube: Printer Ink, It's a SCAM - Yiffit.net

In this video, a Canon print cartridge is opened up and revealed not to contain the meagre 11.9 ml (0.4 fl oz) of ink it is advertised. The proposed solution is to buy a printer designed to be manually refilled with bottles of ink (such as the featured Epson EcoTank ET-2850), though it has only been tested briefly.

Laser printers are great also if you just need black.

I have a brother laser, cost me 80bucks. Had to replace my toner once, after about 4000 pages. Cost me 34 bucks to get a new toner. Another 2000 pages in. It just doesn’t stop. Unplug it. Leave it unplugged for a month or two. Plug it in, wait a couple minutes, wireless print 50 pages with no driver installs. Unplug.

I bought an HP laser printer in 2016 or thereabouts. I only just had to replace the “starter” toner cartridge on it a couple months ago (despite it warning me it was low on toner probably 3 years ago).
