The printer market isn't a bad one to be in. OEM the components from
Lexmark, then sell the ink online. Just like every other company
now, the profit on the printer comes from the ink. It's almost like
free money. As long as the amount of money it takes to manage that
supply chain is less than the profit the chain makes, then it's a
good decision for them to make.
Free money? Ink sales have dropped like software sales
recently. Many (possibly most) people buy a new printer everytime
they run out of ink. I think the inkjet market is an even better
area to see the failure of the race to bottom mentality. The funny
part is that we are supposedly in a reduce/reuse/recycle world.
