You don’t get the same quantity of ink in the cartridges.
When I used to sell computer equipment, I knew the numbers and while I don’t know them specifically now, I can assure you the multi billion dollar companies didn’t start putting more ink in the cartridges that come with their printers. They are starter cartridges and print only a portion of the pages replacement cartridges will print. In my day, the cartridges that came with Epson, canon, Lexmark, and HP (the brands we sold) typically had 20-30% of the capacity. Once in awhile Epson would sell a printer with full cartridges as a promo.
I mean, you’ve already made a bad choice going with an inkjet. Buying more ink is a bad decision. So is buying a new printer but you might get better features
And if anything you’re part of a nice metric that shows buying replacement ink isn’t happening
That’s why i just buy a new printer each time. Fuck them
The sad thing is that’s basically what they encourage. So wasteful. Because they want you on a subscription model.
That’s playing into the system. Buy a decent laser printer and be done.
This isn’t cheaper for the consumer
Sure it is. Replacing all the ink is the same price or more

Ahh yes that’s different :). Who fills their cartridges with desks though?
