HP Invents A New Way To Print

Sushant Bhatia writes "Forbes is reporting that HP is introducing new technology in its inkjet printers that should help the company and consumers save time and money. If successful, the strategy may alter the economics of the printer market. The new inkjet platform, which will initially be geared toward the high end of the market, will incorporate the print head in the printer itself rather than in the ink cartridge. It means cheaper prints for consumers (about 24 cents per photo print) and faster output. HP says it has more than halved the time it takes to print a 4-inch-by-6-inch photo, to 14 seconds. The press release from HP has details on the new technology."

Uh, What?

I have a CP1700 it has seperate print heads and ink cartridges. If the Heads were actually built-in and non-removeable, I would have had to throw it away along time ago. With the cost of replacing both parts, it's even more of a hassle. HP just like the other printer manufactures are just trying to jade the public by putting a shinny new star shaped sticker that says "NEW" on an old overpriced technology. They might as well put an "AS Seen on TV" sticker on it too! It's just another way to seperate you from your money.....
