I'm out so can't watch the video but did he open the cartridge that came with the printer or a replacement cartridge? Ones that come with printers regularly have less ink than the replacement cartridges. So if he got the ink volume from the website or whatever he my have gotten the replacement cartridge ink volume amount.
Printers and their replacement ink cartridges are absolutely a scam, just wanted to ndering if thi person is making an accurate comparison which could lead to people thinking they've been more ripped off than they actually have.
A replacement cartridge.
I kinda miss the days when printer ink cartridges actually comes with a reservoir bag for the ink. These days I just do my printing in the office. Honestly speaking, there should be laws against these kinds of cartridges.
And then there's the environmental impact with these kinds of cartridges, where these same companies white wash themselves as "we are ecologically cautious" spiels.
