Because the CEOs need a second summer home and a fourth sex dungeon?
Second?
I think you meant 5th.
Because that's what people have to keep buying in order to print.
Greed!
because a printer that was $800 in 1995 is now $49
Since i bought my ink tank Brother over a year ago, i still haven't had to refill it. For my previous Canon Pixma it would have been at least 2-3 cartridges. I mean i don't print a lot, but I'm amazed at how much I've been printing with this thing.
Once it runs out, actually Brother original ink doesn't come that much pricier than unbranded, but I'll see my choices.
