They do it because they can get away with it. Zero consequences, and they still have a legion of customers who are happy to piss their money down the drain on egregiously overpriced ink.

I totally agree with you: Brother laser printers all the way.

As a satisfied owner of a Brother laser printer, I can safely say I would never want anything else.

I'm so glad I just happened to get a Brother. It was the cheapest one that had the features I wanted (that wasn't from a completely unknown brand) and it wasn't an HP. I've been nothing but happy with mine and seeing all the love Brother printers get it feels like I totally lucked out.
