Life based on printed pages would be OK. If you actually print the number pages you promise, I can compare the total costs of cartridges and printers.
But I think some models also have timer. After 6 months or year, the printer starts to complain that the ink has "dried up". To prohibit you from saving up that unicorn blood by printing less.
By banned list is HP, Canon and I'm very cautious about Samsung.
- calgoo 10y agoSamsung printers where just bought by HP, so forget about them as well? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-12/hp-inc-buying-samsung-s-printer-business-for-1-05-billion http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-12/hp-inc-buy...
- PavlovsCat 10y agoWould you buy a water bottle that contains a certain amount of water but closes itself after X sips regardless of remaining content?
- vlehto 10y agoThats bad analogy. I could easily just sip three times every time and have empty bottle. If that bottle was cheaper than regular bottle, then sure.
- PavlovsCat 10y agoWhy is that a bad analogy? You can also print out solid black / coloured pages and get rid of the ink before it hits the hardcoded page limit.
- vlehto 10y agoI get no benefit from black pages. I get lot's of benefit from long sips.

- PavlovsCat 10y agoSucks for poor and/or disabled and/or elderly people, sucks for people with infants, and of course, for everyone who doesn't like to have games played on them so they save one cent which others get to pay with five cents. Oh well, amirite?
- vlehto 10y agoIf you're disabled or kid, just pour that stuff to glass. Sip is not in any way definite measurement. Sheet of paper is somewhat decent. Better one would be this: buy a car. It will automatically stop ignition after 100 000km. Do you really have problem with that, if you know it beforehand?
- woliveirajr 10y agoRemembers me about the marketing that a specific soda brand should cost more in hot days so selling machines would increase the price automatically. That was rejected by consumer pressure... Someday, your printer will kill more "printing credits" on those days that you are on a hurry.
