There is good reason why The INQUIRER starts nearly every article about
HP with the lede lead-in *FLOGGER OF EXPENSIVE PRINTER INK* or the like.

On the one hand, its 'give away the razor and sell the blades' strategy
works - awesome inkjet printers have never been so cheap, while the ink
cartridge prices make your eyes water - but there are corner cases, etc.

For many people, HP's scheme makes sense. I print, at most, a few pages
per month, but those that print more volume might not like this HP deal.

Everyone needs to work out their own economics for their printing needs.
