Subscription service

I admit an extreme reluctance to sign up to any such scheme. Too many stories about being unable to exit from them for a start. Especially not a subscription involving a printer company- they not being exactly known for treating customers fairly. As in, one colour runs out you need to buy a whole new set of inks, for example. Not to even mention price gouging backed up by making cheap compatibles impossible(ish) to use.

But also, in the case of ink, modern printers have bottle filled reservoirs, not tiddly little cartridges. If you're using enough ink for a subscription service you might as well buy a bottle filled printer.
