In a recent post I ranted about the way the printer manufacturers have “instructed” their printers to stop working and demand that a new ink cartridge be installed before the old one even runs out of ink. Well, the new issue of PC World Magazine details the results of an independent test that indicates that the scandal is even worse than I had imagined.
The study found that as much as 60% – well over half – of the ink in a cartridge is wasted when some printers lie and tell you the ink well has run dry when it really hasn’t. That amount of wasted ink is outrageous, especially given the exorbitant prices consumers are charged for them in the first place. Here is the link to the page detailing the results of the study.
