Ok everyone, take my advice, and stick it to the man, never fucking buy an HP anything again. My hp 3820 didn't last through the first set on ink cartrages. HP offered to do nothing but sell me a new printer, I said fuck you, im telling everyone I know to never buy HP again. I wouldn't have been so pissed if they would have just admited a design flaw, but they denied it and said tuff shit. So i'm trying to get an anti-hp grassroots movement going.

My HP 3820 is on something like it's 20th new set of cartradgies and no sign of problems here (touch wood). However if HP treated you like you've said I'd be pretty pissed off too and well within my rights to be.
tis a shame companies dont try to look after their customers more.
personally though, i dunno how many carts ive had in my HP LJ 4...its quite a few certainly..
Im not sure thats possible, lol, just type in POS 3820 on google, and your find half a million people like me, read the epinion reviews, and amazon.com, your 1 in a million bud.Quote:

btw, duffman are you a guy or a girl?
Im a guy, but over the duff years, many a nicknames have come about, so i use them whenever. Actually its like a year or 3 or old, i just don't print a lot. Just replace the color for the first time and it said replace the color, so I looked online, and low and behold its a peice of shit.

well 2 years old...of course there not gona give you money back or nething..
But I dont like HP at all, and would NEVER buy their computers.
I swear printer company's give you a DUMMY cartridge , with purchase .It lasts a month if you have little ones. No black just the colour catridge too! Rip off ! I have a HP 3320 , not bad really, but the ink replacement cost's more than a Fooking new printer. :lol:
ya the cartridge that came with my printer was 20ml but the rest are 40ml that u buy in stores (the black...not sure about the color one).Quote:

"Another way that they have reduced costs is by incorporating much of the actual print head into the cartridge itself. The manufacturers believe that since the print head is the part of the printer that is most likely to wear out, replacing it every time you replace the cartridge increases the life of the printer."
I guess thats why

you have 6 months of warranty on all consumer purchases, even stuff like ginea pig (yep, dont feed it, then bring it back to the store and say it aint workin and you want a new one, just dare them to prove you didnt feed it ;) )
or at least thats the way it works in europe
if in the states, just sue them for emotional trauma or something ;)
Just got me an epson c86, it works, and thats a step up. and i like it too,

btw, the ink is so expensive cause the printers are cheap
give away the printer, then make money on the ink....... nice markting idea, but people started refilling em (=less cash for producer), so they incorperated the printhead into the cartrigde, to make refilling harder (a chip on the thing will stop it from printing if its refilled)
