We have that in the plotter space and had it for a while in the home space as well. Not sure why we switched away from that model although I'm sure economics were involved. It also goes toward what the other commenter says - many of us would prefer a longer-life printer but the reality is that the mass-market prefers low initial prices and it's hard to put replaceable printheads with reliable plumbing into a low-end mechanism.

- cuoverhere 10y ago> "it's hard to put replaceable printheads with reliable plumbing into a low-end mechanism" Isn't that exactly what HP is doing now when they sell a cheap printer with replaceable cartridges that contain ink and a print head? Are you saying the "plumbing" is the difficult part? I suspect "economics" in this case means they weren't making huge margins on ink cartridges.
