HP Wants You to Print Magazines with Your Home Printer So You Can Waste More Paper and Buy More Ink [Printers]

By Casey Chan Oct 12, 2011 10:45 AM 4,254 36

HP Wants You to Print Magazines with Your Home Printer So You Can Waste More Paper and Buy More InkTwo wrongs don't make a right. I think I learned that as a 4-year-old. Apparently, HP and Condé Nast skipped out on that life lesson because they're combining two dying things—print media and printers—to create the unholiest of unions: your HP printer at home will print out Condé Nast magazines for you to read.

It sounds straight out of the webpages of the Onion but it's true, Condé Nast magazines like Wired, Details, Epicurious, Glamour, Allure, Golf Digest etc. will be "delivered" to people's personal HP web printers so that they can presumably read them without having to go to the magazine stand. This is real! You schedule when you want to read the mags and your HP printer starts spitting out the pages. (I'm assuming you have to staple the pages together yourself)

I guess this could work in a bizarro world where there is no such thing as tablets or laptops or computers or smartphones or the Internet or common sense but we're not living in that world! Instead, we live in an era where people are ditching their printers cause they're useless, people who have printers never print anything because printer ink is ass expensive and print media is dying (which is legitimately sad). But still, combining print and more print is the dumbest thing HP's done this... month, I guess.

But HP is serious about this. And since they want to revive the printer as some sort of news hub, they're offering a subscription service for printer ink delivery. It's like Netflix but for printer ink! Subscriptions for HP Instant Ink will start from $5.99 to $10.99 per month depending on the product line (shipping included). This will not end well.

With Epson’s proprietary ultra-chrome K3 colour engine powered with Vivid Magenta pigment ink enables this 13 incher to print out differentially great prints including colour as well as b&w quality prints.

This photo printer is capable of delivering exhibition quality prints which can be then printed on a glossy, matte or on a fine art papers which are up to 13 inch long.

This Epson printer R 3000 comes with a 9 cartridge tank which accepts vivid colours like Matte black, Photo Black, Light Black, Light Light Black, Cyan, Light Cyan, Vivid Magenta, Vivid Light Magenta and Photo Yellow tanks and it switches between the Matte and Photo Black inks as required. Also, it seems that Epson has learnt with R 2800 which comes with a 11.4ml which is quite small compared to R 3000 and also R 2800 tends to increase the frequency of refilling it up quite a few times if you are the one who often takes print outs. But with the launch of R 3000 and by fitting the cartridges which powers with a capacity of almost 2.27x more ink that comes close to 25.9ml. So, from now with this printer you can cut on the frequency of replacing the cartridge which makes in short cost efficient too.
