Comments on: Printer makers back cartridge test standard

Canon and others say they will support a uniform method for determining how many prints you get out of a single printer cartridge.

Why Consumers Don't Look

Consumes don't compare the number of pages each different brand claims to produce because the numbers don't mean anything since each manufacture has their own system.

Once the standard exist it will be easier for consumers to compare and then they will make the comparisions.

I think the analyst who was interviewed was an idiot.

Agreed

It's like nobody goes swimming because the pool is dirty. If we clean it up, no one will notice since no one uses the pool anyway.

Worthless quotes.

Cartridge Test Standard

It's time for the Cartridge Industry to come way down on their prices. The cost of INK is rediculous!!! I am about ready to go back to my "Old Royal Typewriter" and "White Out". Then I would only have to worry about the cost of paper.

Funny how things turn around

100 years ago, a Republican, Theodore Roosevelt, led the fight against the film trust for limiting the people who manufactured film and prevented competition.

Now they're bringing back the good old days, and the government supports it through DCMA. IT'S INK!!!! INK!!!! Not some super high tech invention. Seventy five dollars for a couple of ounces of liquid is outrageous.

It's criminal to be limited to one vendor for a commodity. The real irony is that Kodak, 100 years later, is the one that might be making an effort to change things (at least till their market share gets big enough.) These companies don't understand what a free market is, unless it involves firing thousands of people and paying slave labor overseas.

Cartridge size

A co-worker was telling me about a great deal on inkjet cartridges.
I told him to be aware of how man milliliters of ink they actually
contained. It turned out they only had half as much ink.
