I have heard the stories about short-filled ink cartridges too and it makes sense, but I personally have not come across it. I have now accumulated about a dozen printers by purchasing ones such as a Lexmard 605 with two cartridges for much less than the two cartridges sell for separately.

It makes sense although I am accumluating a lot of printers.

Just cut open an OEM HP ink jet cartridge and see what is in it, mostly foam.

The other scam is that the printer uses the color cartridge for some of its black and white work. I have the cheap Lexmark that is also a fax and a copier. On this one, it uses the color cartridge to print regular black text on envelopes. I found this out when the color cartridge emptied out and I couldn't print envelopes even though my B&W cartridge was fine.
