    Lets see..
    Printers that last about 2-3 years..
    In that time, ALL parts are changed, no repair.
    In that time, the Ink cartridge STYLE is changed..SAME ink(most times) just the cartridges DONT FIT. Which makes for OBSOLETE, and you have to get another printer.

    Waste the INK, which costs TONS of money..$15 for milligrams of INK??

    Under the USA copyrights, you have the RIGHT to make your own…You can even get the recipe(if you can find it) and make the EXACT SAME for personal use.

    #3 Not only that, but your loses on your electric bill kinda offsets the “savings” on not cleaning the heads.

    #4 Governments do the same. So, what’s your point here?

    #8 You are a macfan, aren’t you?

    #16 But the downside is that HP printers lose accuracy quite fast. And in all, we’re screwed.

    Wow, from this video I have been able to discern one thing. The british sound like queers.

    @ #4 “What was the question again: Are corporations evil?”

    Stow that commie talk ya smelly hippie. You want the taliban to win? Well do ya?

    Listen to Pedro, he’s right about you having no point, of course neither does he but god dammit he ain’t no socialist and he hates the Mac nancies so he can’t be all bad.

    So straighten up and fly right and above all CONSUME. Now that the recession is over we all need to chip in to get America back on it’s feet.

    at first i though maybe is was bogus. thanks to Google i found this.
    it also make sense as i have a Design Jet ink jet plotter, and it has reservoir that you replace every time you change the print head.

    Oh yes- I’m aware of this. When I disassambled my old Canon S520 I found what looked like a fifth print head on the mechanism, larger than the rest, beside the usual black, cyan, magenta, and yellow ones. When I immersed this whole unit in water an amazing amount of black ink came from this fifth “head”. That’s when I discovered the waste ink reservoir. My newer Canon MP620 seems to be burning right through the ink, even when I print only occasionally, and I’m certain the darn thing is cleaning every time I turn it on! We need to get the word out on this. If I can’t correct this obnoxious behavior, Canon will lose much of its esteem in my mind.

    I just use ink refill kits. I have a very old Pixma that doesn’t have chipped ink reservoirs, so you can fill them up over and over again with no problem.

    And before you defend black & white and color laser printers, they too have waste toner reservoirs. The big enterprise class ones seem to waste about 50% of the toner supplied to it, judging from how full the reservoir is when its changed out.

    #7: How long does it take to clog the heads? I’ve been doing leaving my Epson switched on for four years with no problems yet.

    I went with a cheap laser and never looked back. I got a Brother 2070N. Good for all my printing needs. The one time I needed color, I brought a PDF of what I wanted to work and printed there. We have a selection of ink jets at work for various testing purposes.

  10. I really like your post you done a great jobs . Thanks for sharing valuable information.
