Couldn't help noticing how many bubble jet printers there were at the
tip yesterday. I was dumping 3, and it looked like everyone else was
too. Pretty soon we'll have dedicated printer bins alongside the glass
and paper.
Is there any other area of manufacturing where obsolescence is so
blatantly built in? I'm sure these things are programmed to show faults
they don't really have after a certain time. Maybe that's the only way
they can make money, but the environmental consequences must be
considerable.
I've given up on colour printing altogether. Kodak are better at it and
cheaper by far.
Rant over.
