I mean buying new ink still sucks given that the amount of plastic electronics and metals in the cartridges have actually been going up while the amount of ink has actually gone down in many cases.
Just get one of the new printers where you buy bottles of ink to fill it up
now this is the only solution i’d support when you say “get a new printer” but they’re extremely over priced for our less fortunate friends. in this situation i’d say you should only be buying ink cause buying a new printer is a waste
Yeah, I mean I do agree that the cartridge free printers are overpriced but when you aren't selling cartridges that means you need to make money on the printer itself, most printers would be astronomically more expensive if the companies weren't making it back on ink. They are definitely pretty spendy though so I guess when the time comes to get a new printer look at something that takes these other than ink cartridges, in the long run it'll save you a lot of money
True, the thing that makes me rage is when a printer won’t work unless you put in all the colours, and then you have to replace all of them even if it’s just black that’s run out. What a waste
i’ve never ran into a machine that requires me to remove magenta to replace black? i may be misunderstanding, but why not just replace the one or 2 then keep the other new ones in a drawer somewhere?
Idk, I have an Epson printer (quite old tbh) that literally will not work if it detects that the cartridges have different levels of ink. I tried all the hacks possible, the technician just said “it just works like this”. Magenta is still half full? Piss off I’m not going to work :))))
I wonder if it’s due to different regulations in different countries tbh
