Well, okay, nobody stinks. But I did just replace the ink in my crappy little $80 printer. The quality of the printing isn't so bad: average inkjet. But the little black starter ink cartridge was empty after about three months of fairly light use. (Check out the complaints on the amazon page for the HP901 ink cartridge.
So while the manufacturer's game is presumably to get you to spend $40-$60 on replacement ink cartridges, I instead took the cheap, messy route, and paid $11.50 on ebay for a refill kit. And it worked great. I probably wasted a little ink in doing three full cartridge cleaning processes, as the refill manufacturer recommends doing one to three, but it's still a way better deal than replacing the cartridges.
Today: meeting with the commander of the local private security force regarding my complaint about one of his officers (an off-duty police officer) who threatened to charge me for criminal damage for having my bike locked up to a utility pole on the sidewalk, and then a committee meeting tonight to work on recycling and bicycle storage issues in our building. In between, planning for the bike tour, which is looming near!
