Just looked this up as I have not heard of it before.

"Cartridge-free printing — comes with up to 2 years of ink in the box" - I really like this bit.

Any idea how this works from a dollars & cents perspective?

They're filling radio adverts here in the UK about them, claiming "new tanks cost as little as £6".

If replacements won't be needed for 2 years I figure most people will expect it to have broken and been taken off the market by then...

They are excellent document printers. The ones I've used have been okay for printing photos, but that isn't what they are tuned for.
