Not more than a signal. The article says that HP is reacting to most customers using not the expensive original HP ink cartridges, but are using refills and cheaper cartridges by foreign companies. A satistic says 4 out of 5 customers do not use original inks. the new cartridges will cost less than 10 euros.
Well, I have a Canon Pixma 5200, five cartridges. I pay one euro for each of them (shipping included). The little effort to cut out the chip and glue it on the new cartridge I accept. Depending on where I would buy, orginal cartridges cost 13-17 euros.
I wonder if HP will gain as much from their initiative as they hope.
