Comment on HP’s Less Bang for your Buck.. by David Atkins

Yep ! You got it right HP has gone to less and less ink in their cartridges with the exception of the printers using HP No 88 cartridges.

I still feel that inkjet printers are the best home solution. Lasers have hidden costs that the user does not plug into the equation and toners are not exactly cheap.

Photos on a laser are a joke.

Beyond that fact Lexmark printers are crap!, I work as a service technician for a large retail company and they use Lexmark laser printers in thier pharmacy departments, I get 5 times the calls for lexmark printers than I do with HP printers even though there are twice as many HP’s, I wouldn’t advise anyone to get a Lexmark, HP printers cost more but there’s a good reason, they’re much more reliable

If you can catch it before it gets more than half empty by weighing it on a sensitive balance, a Lexmark cartridge will go a long way before clogging. My old Epson black and white cartridges lasted three years - same method, weigh and estimate, weigh and estimate. You can actually catch and re-use the overflow ink using model airplane fuel lines and a great deal of patience. I now use laser and found complete instructions on how to successfully restore laser cartridges on the web! A little messy the first time, but now that I am familiar with the process it is easy. Someday someone from China will see this dilemma and send us an easier, cheaper solution - in the mean time, go laser for cheap black and whites anyway.

Arg! I hate printer scum. My last 2 printers came with ink and cost less with the ink than buying refills. I really hate doing this, but when my printers run out of ink I throw them away and get new ones. $50 for the newest technology with ink cartridges or $50 for ink cartridges.

I generally despise regulation, but I think this scam could use some.

Hmmm……

This is unconscionable - Lexmark actually discourages recycling by incorporating technology that destroys an ink cartridge when the on-board micro-processor realizes the ink has dried out. They also have a program that promises to give you discounted p…
