@mook @glitzersachen @kkarhan Well, light bulbs that live forever were already invented. The industry agreed to not sell any light bulbs over 600 Wh (that number is from memory, so unsure if thats still true).
Companies don't provide the consumer with the best product for the consumer. Otherwise dealing with printers would be less expensive and less painful.

Tho Lasers are the least sucky printers...
@kkarhan @mook @glitzersachen Printer Ink is sold more expensive than human blood. 1 ink cartidge has like 2-3 ml (in the past it was 20 ml). So 1L is sold for over 2000 €.
Then there are arguments like: You don't just pay for the ink but for the electronics on the cartridge too.
The electronics that voids the warranty or rejects inks from other brands. The electronics that stop you from refilling the ink.
The consumer has to pay for it.
(Laser Printers are better but still not perfect)
@0xIO32 @AquaFan @mook @glitzersachen @theintercept np.
The original idea is basically going in-hand with #OmronRings: Trying to trace #CounterfeiltMoney and making it easy to detect copies.
@AquaFan @0xIO32 @mook @glitzersachen @theintercept you could use yellow paper or just print B&W-only.with only black ink installed.
