liquids are more precious than printer ink, but that’s not because ink is expensive to make. How can HP— and its handful of competitors in the highly concentrated printer market—get away with charging these kinds of markups?

    I bought a color laser printer (HP) and got a 3rd party toner, if I run out - because it’s a local company doing recycling and so on

    I’m now even a bit ashamed, because I can’t really support this local company, because I haven’t had the chance to even put their toner in, as the initial ones still work now after fucking 6 years. And we even had some time, when we tried printing some photos in high quality (and corresponding paper)

    Don’t know how long it will hold up, but as I’ve pretty much moved to a paperless office, this initial toner kit will probably survive longer than my company…
