    Inkjet cartridges cost more than a entry-level printer with ink included. Which, i notice, causes a lot of people to simply buy new a new printer when it runs dry.

    Apparently, this "razor and blades business model" can be very lucrative. Also, it generates a new pacific garbage patch every month.

    I want to penalty kick Epson, Canon and the rest in the testicles.
