Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies
ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 10 months agoI know we assume they’re following the “razor blade” model but I actually find it hard to believe the printers are sold at a loss given how cheap it is to produce at this point.
Unless by “loss” we’re saying “less than HP thought it could extract.”

They’re absolutely not producing them at a loss. The loss is only in their projections and expectations to price gouge their customers.

I just looked. You can get an HP Deskjet on Amazon for $40. They are producing those at a loss and expecting people to pay for their bullshit ink subscriptions.
