Well that article is three years old, nothing has changed. I think it's promoting a very wasteful society if it's cheaper to buy a new printer every month than to buy the ink cartidges for it. I saved nearly a tenner doing this, that's £120 a year if I keep doing it. The only advantage in buying new cartridges is you don't have to keep carrying a whole printer home from the shops instead, it's bloody stupid.
In fact I may as well buy the printer, remove the cartridges and ask the shopkeeper to put the printer in the bin for me.
Be wary though Maljonic, in my experience new printers tend to ship without full ink cartridges, so you'll have to refill them sooner. End up spending as much!
They'd have to do some pretty underhand stuff to make them less than full, what with the chip inside and the program that comes with the printer that tells you how much ink is left.
The chip and program lie. They don't actually measure ink level, they just "estimate" how much ink is left, and by "estimate" I mean they say it's empty when it's half-full.
