Imagine working high up in this company and not wanting to jump off a bridge every time you get off of work. Psychos.
I have always had a conspiracy theory that the ink management requirements are set by national security input. All printers have a yellow dot pattern added to every print to identify the printer by a forensics team. I wonder if this is why the ink landscape is so shifty. They want to make sure those dots get printed. My thought on why you can't print black and white when you are only missing colored ink.
The conspiracy theory falls apart with black only printers. 🤷
Funny you'd mention that. I removed my color cartridge and haven't seen fit to reattach it. On HP printers, at least, you can override ink checking by long-pressing one of the buttons on it. (I assume people who have purchased a printer that doesn't suck will have a similar option)
Do not buy inkjet printers, it is a scam! I dumped mine long ago even with after market ink, it is just a hassle to upkeep it.
They used to not be, in the early years of ink jet there were some fantastic ones.
One of them accompanied me through school where I would print full color on 1 meter long heavy grain paper like it was nothing. It worked so good and never clogged even on not official ink
I'm not an investment, I'm a single purchase customer. I buy a thing from you and then I get on with my life.
HP is a bad investment
“My business model is making everyone else responsible to make my business successful”
How has HP not gone out of business? Their products are overpriced pieces of trash.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
