HP & Staples Collude On $8,000/Gallon Ink?

Posted by kdawson on from the that's-no-razor-blade dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "HP and Staples are facing an anti-trust lawsuit over replacement printer cartridges. According to the lawsuit, HP paid Staples $100 million to refuse to stock competing ink cartridges. HP could make that back in short order when you consider that printer ink can cost $8,000 per gallon and certain printers deceive users to waste as much as 64% of their ink."

    Good reason to use a laser printer. Even before this great revelation I thought laser printers were a better long term investment.
