    Any company that sees themselves “in the Business of selling printers and ink” thinks they’re strictly “in the business of selling ink.” Because selling ink is incredibly profitable.

    This is exactly the type of situation that could be fixed with government regulation: Make it illegal for printer companies to sell ink/toner!

    The day such regulation came into effect, all printers would double (not triple!) in price and we’d have like three standard cartridge sizes that you could source anywhere. They’d all be refillable and the world would be a better place.
