For a long time, I have been frustrated that today's printers are simply a way for the manufacturers to sell more ink and toner cartridges. The low cost of printers bears witness to this. Go to the office supply store and you will easily spend $70 for black and color ink cartridges. And forget trying refilled/recycled cartridge. I bought the OfficeMax cartridges for the HP Officejet 7310 and almost ruined the printer. After 10-15 print-outs, the printer refused to work. I put HP cartridges back in and the printer was singing again.
As well, there is some truth to printers having a mind of their own. I own a HP Laser 2550. It uses 4 different toner cartridges (over $400 to replace them all). They actually have a memory chip in them that counts the number of copies and stops working even if there is toner left in the cartridge.
Well, "power to the people"! There is now a font that allows you to use 20% less ink or toner when you print. It's not the prettiest font you have ever seen; it is a sans serif typeface with holes through it. But for personal, "daily use" printing or perhaps some business printing; it is quite usable.
Leave it to a Dutch company to come up with an economical and green solution. To learn more, visit their site.
