I believeit. Shopping around a few office supplies sites for a popular HP cartridge theHP 49 cartridge to be precise I discovered that this market leader wasretailing anywhere from £31.00 - £33.00 quite a lot of money for a tank of inkcontaining 23ml of fluid. We dig deep into our pockets without even a whimperto satisfy little Sophie's urge to paint pictures with a printer instead of a brushthe price of progress we consol ourselves.We moan aloud though when we turn on the TV to the morning news and areinformed that petrol has risen to over £1.00 a litre and another few pence nowadded seemingly daily "is there no end to this robbery" we sigh,oblivious to the fact that our pockets were looted for a container of ink thecost of which would have half filled our car tanks. Now though not content withdaylight robbery the print cartridge manufacturers have resorted to stealth tofurther plunder our meagre resources.Laser print, a toner dust instead of ink has become increasingly popular.These printers once mainly favoured by the business community have now becomeaffordable to the ordinary guy on the street. Possible only because the actualprinter is sold at a loss by the manufacturers. Before you ring their praisesallow me to explain for there is a method in their madness.The cartridges in the printer you've just purchased are known asstarter cartridges they're only half full and in some cases less than that.When they're empty which will be quicker than you think, it'll cost you morethan the price of the printer to replace them. What's more lasercartridges are big cartridges they hold a lot of toner and print severalthousand pages, too many for the manufacturers liking for they stop the cartridgebefore its empty. The cartridges are in my opinion deliberately and some wouldsay maliciously curtailed in their performance.The cartridge is tripped through the use of a special electronic chip. Thislittle fellow informs the printer when a certain number of pages have beenprinted after which it renders the cartridge useless by stopping the printerdead, even though there is still toner remaining that will allow the cartridgeto print hundreds of pages more. The questions that need to be asked are, isthis extortion and should it be permitted? Some would say that the practice ofchipping cartridges is long overdue investigation by the office of fair tradingor some other government body that can ensure that the ordinary consumer isprotected against sharp practice.
