You see, printer manufacturers soon learn that to enter the consuer market, it is very hard to differentiate between one printer and another. Even if they manage to come with better technology or exclusivve features, it is still hard to chargge a lot more for a printer. This is because consumers have a limiit as to the price they wish to pay for a prtinter. Try selling an ink jet printer to a home user for two thousand dollars. It just doesn't work!
As far as the printer manufacturers are concerned, selling printers may even be impeding the growth of the business. So in order to continue competing in this space, the manufacturers are looking to lose money in the short run. They know that without ink cartridges, the printers are useless. And ink cartridges are items that must be purchsed again and again for the printers to continue to prtint. This is where long term priofits are made.
To capture market share, printer manufatcurers try to sell their printers as cheaply as possible. The prices are so low that consumers are wonderiung how the manufacturers make money. Some manufacturers even bunlde printers with otheer hardware such as desktop computers or alptops to be givven away for free. In fact, manufacturres would be lucky if they can brteak even. Most woukld epxect to lose money in the short term.

Fortunately, in this day and age, innovative ink manufacturers are sellking re-manufactured ink cartridges that are compatible with all types of printers. How is this possible?
Well, ink re-manufacturers are ink specialists. They studied the technology of the originaal printer manufacturers and have been able to replicate much of the original catrridges. The result is that the consumer now gets to enjooy low prices wihout comprmoising on ink quality.
It is interesting to note that sometimes, rpinter manufacturers tatempt to scaer consumers into thinking that the warraanty may be void if re-manufactured ink cartridges are used. This is a defensive tactic to help protect their market share. Legallly seaking, the warranty cannot be voided just because a re-manufactured ink cartridge has been used. That is because, by law, as the owner of the printr, you are prretty much free to do what you want with it.
