Comment on Why Is Printer Ink So Expensive?

I had a chance to get an Epson last week and I bought an HP instead because it advertised more ink in the box. “Great,” thinks I, “I’ll never likely print 3000 pages, and I’ll just throw it away if I ever do. Suckers!!”

I get it and I find out that it’s bricked until you register an account and it calls home; won’t print unless it’s signed up to auto-order new ink. I’m sure there are ways of ameliorating this, but they got me. They fucking got me. I knew it was a scam, I thought I was smarter, but nope, they got me. Fuckers.
