OfficeJ 8500A gone, welcome 8600 with 950/951 carts

[korny]

Now HP has done a refresh of that top of the line line: OfficeJet 8600 and new carts: 950 & 951. (old printer was the 8500A and 940 carts)
It would be interesting to know what HP is doing. Im the curious type.

The fist thing I see is that they have tweaked the price a bit to their advantage, of course.
The 8500A was a four color, CMYK 100% pigment printer for business.

940xl (old) $36 yield: 2200
950xl (new) $37 yield: 2300
I grabbed these figures quickly fr staples.com
..price up a fraction, and volume of ink down a bit. A careful tweak. Price increase none the less.

They wouldn't increase the old cartridges' prices... too much question to ask, so they've come up with a newer cartridges!
