Ink More Expensive Than Champagne

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the silly-comparisons dept.

laing writes "According to this story, ink for home printers is now seven times more expensive than vintage champagne.Ink in a typical replacement cartridge costs about £1.70 per millilitre, compared with 1985 Dom Perignon at 23p per millilitre." Explains why I get daily spam about toner, but none at all for booze!

    I found the repost useful. Reading the Headline and summary on the HP - DMCA article, I had no interest in reading the full article. Hence, I never read anything about the cost of Ink.

    Reposting the story with a different theme may get the attention of people who may not have been interested in the original story... people like myself. The link may be a Dupe, but the idea behind the posts were not.

    Thanks
