HP uses proprietary ink in new printers
HP is bringing a proprietary form of ink to office printers, and you won't be able to buy cheaper cartridges for it from sites like eBay.
New PageWide and OfficeJet Pro printers will use so-called pigment ink to provide faster and higher-quality printing than laser cartridges. Per-page printing costs will be lower, too.
HP has so far reserved pigment ink for industrial printing but is now bringing it to office printers. The ink is based on a proprietary formula, and cartridges can be bought only from HP for $40 or more.
Business printers will be able to print up to 20,000 pages with a one black cartridge of the pigment ink, and 17,000 pages with color cartridges.
