True, but I would have figured that by now, so many people would have had bad experiences with inkjet printers from HP/epson/canon that they would have sought out that information. Or maybe even retailers would promote it so people are more satisfied with their purchases.
Yup, though those tend to be purchased by large corps in bulk via industrial channels, so the companies still make good money.
Most large corps have done the math and know their TCO all in is much lower (since they have the scale that they need to hire staff and explicitly account for dealing with issues like printer problems).
The printer companies have also done their market research and math, and know how much they can squeeze out of these corps while still having the math clearly make sense for them.
Can you imagine the logistical and end user support nightmare if they gave everyone their own cheap inkjets? Lolz.
It’s bad enough as it is, and per-page the problems are way less frequent.
