Loading ...Nice… Slashdot reports that a study done to see how accurate printing-software was with respect to “Ink is low, please replace” showed that in the best case (Epson, who also funded the study) wasted 20% of the ink, while others (I’m sure HP is up there) wasted 50% of the ink in the cartridge telling you it was time to refill it when it was just fine.
I’m wondering if any consumer watch-dog group is ever going to stop into the ink-jet market and help stop the fleecing that is occurring… I remember a study from 4 or 5 years ago that took the price of a black ink cartridge, and calculated per-gallon how much they are charging for ink, and it came out to something like $486 per gallon for black ink based on the prices of ink-jet cartridges… good god people.
