If it were a drink, you would enjoy it on the most festive occasions: colored printer ink (type 304) from HP costs 17 euros for two milliliters in electronics stores. This yields 8,500 euros per liter. Armand de Brignac Midas, one of the most expensive champagnes in the world according to ‘Falstaff’, costs 200,000 euros in the 30 liter bottle or 6667 euros per liter – so less. Printing is lucrative for manufacturers, and they do a lot to keep it that way.
Third-party cartridges are actively prevented by individual manufacturers in the operating software of their printers. In the latest insult to customers, the American provider HP has considered a subscription service with a rental printer, monthly ink supply and always-on internet requirement. But you do not need to engage in this practice: not all printer models entail such high operating costs, so careful purchase will save you trouble later. Krone+ reveals which models you can use to save money on printing.
