Apparently a third and more sensible way is possible in the Indian market though, with the HP DeskJet GT printers, which have refillable reservoir tanks (not even disposable!)

Yet somewhow they aren't offered for sale in Europe?

Instead we get the subscription model, which involves yet more data (printer usage, ink levels) disappearing off to someone else's servers.

Didn't even know about that model, thanks for pointing it out. Clearly we're trying out different business models in different markets.

Or maybe people in India wont put up with the sort of crap we somehow do here in the US
