    This is the same company that sells an entire printer at a loss, as a semi-disposable item, so you’ll be suckered into buying their proprietary ink cartridges at the low low price of an arm and a dick. Inefficiency? From the company that makes disposable fucking printers? yeah that sounds about right.

    and yes, it is bad business, but there are many things that HP does that are “bad business”, and yet they continue to exist like a cancer on the consumer computer hardware market. Again, this is normal for them.

      small point of fact… they’re no longer loss leaders. They’re making a profit on the printer too, now. they only did that to push out other brands in the space- they’re at 20+% global market share… and that’s just HP branded printers. they own some other junky brands.
