HP is very insistent that users of its printers don't turn to cheaper third-party alternatives for their ink cartridges. It introduced a feature called Dynamic Security in...

Yeah, it’s the “loss leader” strategy. Some HP printers are very cheap, sometimes cheaper than the cartridge you need to put in it. They’re doing it ridiculously aggressively.
Ink jet cartridges dry up when they’re not used often enough though, which screws people who don’t print much as well. HP just screws everyone equally.
I had a printer from HP but rarely had to print anything. It happened way too often, that I had to buy a new cartridge, because the old one dried up. Soo annoying…
Now I have a laser printer from brother and it’s much better! No more drying up!
I guess this is more about technology than it is brand, but it somehow was fitting here😄

If you cared about price per sheet and you print a lot, then you’d have a better printer than an ink jet.
HP pulls this shit because that business model works for people who need to print a little.

I’m talking about the difference between using an ink-jet or something more expensive like a laser printer.
