OK, I've been wary of these refill company claims.Originally posted by: jjsole
this is a joke! success or not tho, it wont stop people from refilling the cartridges themselves.

What is so sad about 'this' is that the market would not allow for the 'other' product if the printer manufacturers were not ripping off consumers so bad to begin with.
I mean, c'mon, buy a printer for 99 bucks and then have to pay 35 bucks for some ink, that just seems to evaporate into thin air, anyway.
Edit... I was obviously refering to ink jets, but same thing stands.

I dunno, as much as I love to refill my inkjets, you have to realize that printers are usually sold at a loss, with ink sales making up for the loss on the printer.
This way people that print more pay more. The prices are outrageous for ink, but they have to make money some way, and I print so little that I am just not willing to shell out $200+ for a printer.
