Printer ink is the worst ripoff. What really gets me though is what I experienced recently.. There were 2x black cartridges, one for text one for pics - no substitution. It absolutely refused to let me print anything if one was low, regardless of the usage, same with pictures. It basically holds your printer hostage... There could be times where you don't care and want something printed even if imperfect..

Also they put chips on cartridges now to prevent aftermarket, or refills, or what have you. It's worse than a mafia or drug dealers ("psst, here, cheap printer, first ink is free!!") ...

I use the best Brother laser (unkillable, cheap AF) and I send pics to be done on a service...
