HP is robbing me blind

Since when was 25ml of ink worth $30 and why package the print head with the ink? Pretty sad when the price of the replacement ink is more than the price of the latest and greatest printer.

My Epson dot matrix printer that came with my first computer (an apple IIe) still prints fine and it’s 20 years old! Each replacement ribbon is $9 and a ribbon is good for hundreds and hundreds of pages of text.

I guess this is how HP can be a complete failure in the pc/electronics department (hp/compaq pc’s are the Ugo’s of the computer world) and still be a profitable company. It’s the Gillette business model, give them the razor for cheap and make a mint on the blades.
