Ridiculously expensive ink cartridges.
You would think someone would have come with something better and less expensive by now.
Right you are. The money is made on the accessories....and they're very rarely, if ever on sale.
Recently I had to replace my 8 year old Canon printer. Got a good on-line discount on a Canon scanner/printer. I like the way it works....am happy with it....BUT the ink cartidges are half the size and cost 2 dollars more than the old one. Not only that, but....this new printer simply will not make a good print on anything but Canon paper. The first print I ran was awful, as was the subsequent ones. I ran all the diagnostics, wasting ink and paper and finally called Canon support and was told the new machines are "engineered to give quality results with Canon paper and ink. So, I bought some Canon paper and now I get great prints. Their ink is expensive.....their paper isn't.
My old printer would print on a candy wrapper...this one won't.
More and more and in so many ways we are becoming slaves to to the giant box stores and the corporations that support them.
