Smith and Roberson’s Business Law, ninth edition. Thus, the mere fact that there also are other recyclers available to refurbish, and recycle ink cartridges, but except for lower cost, and the free choice of the consumer, HP has restricted the consumer the full use, and the operation of HP printers. Allowing HP, through their “refurbishing and reselling” effort to conserve resources, using the various recycling facilities of manufacturers around the world contracted by HP. Hewlett Packard recycles their ink cartridges by promoting that HP cartridges be returned for recycling, using a self addressed, stamped envelope. This is anti-competitive, and in violation of anti-trust laws.

I say, go ahead send these stupid messages, but don’t stop my printer from working. HP forces you, according to HP predetermined usage, in order for your printer to work, to buy their ink cartridges, or HP will shut your printer down.ĭon’t focus on the ink cartridge, focus on the fact HP, and other printer manufacturers, stop your printer from working, because of some silly game they are playing of cheating customers before the ink runs out, or wrong ink standards, or what-ever. Or until that time HP thinks you have printed long enough, even if you have plenty of ink. Why should my printer shut down after purchasing a recycled ink cartridge? But then if you buy an HP ink cartridge, your printer is up and running again. It may work momentarily, but then you get these same messages, remove cartridge. You buy a recycled ink cartridge, with no HP warranty.

Bad ink cartridge, color bad, light ink which appears watery, what-ever, they give you another one. Think about any ink cartridge, for example, HP ink cartridge that has a warranty. However, without telling the buyer that the cartridge expires, they may have opened themselves up to trouble, as many people will assume the cartridges will remain good. HP’s defense, of course, will most likely be to point out that older cartridges may clog up, causing damage to the printers.

It’s not clear if the complaint focuses on the fact that this exists at all, or (more reasonably) that the expiration date isn’t given to consumers. However, some consumers are claiming that HP goes a step further, and includes a “must use by” date encoded in the chip in their ink cartridges, meaning that if you don’t use the ink by a certain date, no HP printer will let you use it any more. What is it with printer manufacturers and their increasingly sophisticated means of screwing over the customers who buy ink from them? Even going beyond various attempts at using technology to block out competition, printer makers have long been accused of having their printers claim a cartridge is empty when it’s still 25% full.
