Cost cutting measures due to inflation. Green ink is expensive.

Fun fact, this is for the benefit of law enforcement. Your papers have faint tracking numbers printed on, and require the other colors to do it. Is it a good system? Should you send HP hate mail in quantities high enough to ddos them? Will there be a third question? I wouldn’t know

But you can actually buy black and white printers so how does that work?

They print it in faint black.

As I asked, is it a good system? Should you fax black paper to HP in a never ending loop? Hard to say, but I know what I believe in my heart of hearts

No it's the green pixels that cost too much.
