Hi.
Not entirely certain to which sub forum this should fit under, however...
Have you ever wondered about what it actually costs Canon or Epson, e.t.c for a single ink cartridge?
After reading canonfodder's posting on the resetter it got me thinking as to the markup ink/inkjet hardware manufacturers receive.
3000$ for a machine that cost about 50$ to build, and perhaps (guessing) 2000$ for R&D, if any.
What do you think a CLI-8, or BCI-6 cart costs canon or generic manf? Same goes for epson or hp, e.t.c.
Granted not all that interesting a subject.
Also why printers (most inkjets) can't only clean one colour at a time.
Enjoy.
