@bobroberts2371 5 лет назад

QRS3C273 Yep, greed. . .on the part of the consumer who will buy the cheapest printer rather than looking at the total cost of ownership. I doubt many would buy a HP 4520 at $ 170 ( $ 120 cost to make + a bit of profit ) with lower cost ink when a printer next to it is $ 60. but has more expensive ink. How about you or David Connett opening up a printer manufacturing company and sell things for.what you would want to pay? Should be a huge money maker given so many consumers want less expensive printing no?

@Nubnewb Epson is the worst of the lot. First they make the printheads non-user replaceable (it means the bin when they fail or clog), then they spent MILLIONS in R&D to develop nasty non-refillable cartridges with chips designed to lock out competitors and cause trouble, then because printheads are built-in they devised the wonderful vacuum "cleaning" system that sucks out the gold-priced ink and WASTES it in a pad. When the printer *thinks* that the pad is full, it jams up telling you it needs servicing. It means binning the printer if you cannot source the Adjustment Program and DIY. This is EPSON!

This is what I used to do as well. It annoyed me because it was so stupid, but it was significantly cheaper. Then printer companies switched to "starter" cartridges in new printers that meant you effectively had to buy a printer _and_ ink upfront, so it was no longer worth it.

@martinsmallridge4025 Год назад

Which is an incredibly dumb thing to do now as most printers are now sold with “setup” or “starter” cartridges that are deliberately hobbled to have minimal ink so you need to buy cartridges really quickly. Far better to buy a more expensive printer with lower cost consumables but most consumers don’t do the research.

Another trick they use is to add color ink into black and white printing, so you may be printing a bunch of text and then suddenly "you are out of cyan" - they say that the printer doesn't have "true" black ink and that it is more of a grey so that it can make darker shades of other colors for color printing, but in reality it just means that the non-black ink is used up way faster, because you need more of it to mix into a color to make it darker than if you used black ink and you need more of it along with some color ink to create black too. If they used real black ink, you could use less of the ink more spread out and it'd produce exactly the same colors.

they say they need to do this because adding cyan to black toner creates a "truer black" color, but then if that's the case, they should have added more cyan to the black toner.

Rich black (aka process black) is a thing. You can't pre-mix cyan onto the black cartridge because then if you wanted to print a dark shade containing the other primaries (magenta and yellow, which are used to make red, green, blue, orange, etc) the hue would shift, so your dark yellows would be green, magentas/reds violet or purple, etc. But for printing a document you most likely don't care if it's a dark grey or brown.

If a printer manufacturer makes ink cheaper then they would have to increase the cost of the printer. And if people perceive the printer as "too expensive" they won't even purchase it, let alone the ink. Imagine looking at every brand of a simple, small printer for ~$99 and then the same looking printer of another brand for $300? Without knowing the cost of the consumable (ink), most would go for the cheaper brands. Unless most or all manufacturers change, one won't take the risk. I'm not against your comment because ink prices are ridiculous. Imagine buying a computer for $300 but paying $500 for the mouse and keyboard. Same story.

They use the "cheap printer, expensive ink" strategy because consumers are dumb and look at product price without checking cost of operation. Same reason why people get "free" phones with a carrier deal (basically a credit) Brother printers cost 3x+ as much as a "typical" printer but you can get 50ml ink set for 10$. Also ink refill takes couple seconds. Open refill tank, pour ink in, close.

Epson don't do that. Their EcoTank printers uses no electronics for ink status at all. You have to manually look at the tanks to see when you need refill. They are all shown in front of the printers. Impossible to trick anyone. On top of it, they are 50 times cheaper to print photo with.

Printer companies constantly change cartridge types to make older ones outdated. They also started putting ceramic plugs into the cartridges so you couldn’t refill them. I also think the company that made the refilling machine was sued on a constant basis so eventually they just gave up and we stopped providing the services after they stop making refills.
