hm, first hand experience? and: this is a known fact, nothing new.
don't say that this is news to you. *doh*

I doubt you have purchased enough printers in your lifetime to be able to
state what "usually" happens from personal experience.

In MY personal experience, printers come with brand new ink cartridges,
still in their shrink wrap. They are the same cartridges you buy in the
stores when you get refills, and they last just as long.

I know how to use Google. What in those results verifies your claim? I see
mostly companies selling third-party ink making unverified accusations, and
nothing supporting your claim.

How about you post links to all the printer manufacturers who document that
they sell printers with ink cartridges that are only half full? Offering up
a needle in a haystack proves nothing, other than your own laziness when
your bluff is called.
