I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    If you print regularly, HP’s 6 cent per page, 100 pages per month plan is about the same price as a small black and white laser’s drum and toner.

    But you can plan full page photos on photo paper with it for that 6 cent too, not just BW documents. I like it, a full year costs about the same as 1 set of XL OfficeJet ink and you never have to try to save money by going BW / draft mode. Just print whatever. Clean the head whenever needed. It’s all included.

    Yes it is a subscription, but this one is actually useful. And it gets cheaper the more you print, up to small office volumes. We have it at multiple offices on a 300/700 pages plan.

      Wait, 6 cents? That’s three times what I paid to print stuff at uni.

      Okay that was a decade ago, but still, I don’t pay 3x for other office services.
