Testing Cheaper Printer Ink

Posted by timothy on from the droplets-of-common-sense dept.

Carl Bialik from the WSJ writes "Computer users world-wide spend $22 billion a year on ink cartridges, and the big companies are getting stingier with the amount of ink they are putting into each cartridge, the Wall Street Journal reports. Entrepreneurs are seeking a slice of that market by undercutting HP and Lexmark with ink prices 20% to 50% lower. The Journal tested do-it-yourself refill kits, cartridge retail outlets and replacement cartridges from online stores to find the best way to save money on ink refills. One major finding: The quality often wasn't as good as with the name-brand cartridges."

    What does 'redundant' mean, anyway? Does it mean that it's the same as something you've posted, or someone else?

    Skinning cats is evil, and you are evil for using the phrase.

    I hope you rot in a hell full of catshit.
