Resellers threatened to ditch HP printing supplies for counterfeits.
That’s about $14.5M or €12.7M. HP is estimated to make ~$11B annually (worldwide, no figures specifically for India) from “print supplies,” which is probably wider than ink, but 🤷♂️
What, is that like the cost of a dozen of their ink cartridges? That fine needs a lot more zeros.
The secret sauce of successful business is corruption on the government level that will help you even when you got caught.
HP is a dogshit company that makes dogshit products. I have never had a good HP product.
The cheap laser printer we bought long time back, almost a decade ago is surprisingly working well. But I doubt any recent products would come anywhere close while being a lot more expensive.
Edit: The white plastic did turn a bit yellow but it does print. Although it doesn’t work that well when adding a lot of sheets at the same time, 2 or 3 is fine. I think it’s more of a design issue than degradation.
The last HP printer I had was useless because they made an update that prevented it from using third party ink cartridges. Fuck then entirely.
HPE still fuckin afaik
If it was Tata, there’d be no fine
