Cool, now ban the countdown chips that brick ink and printers that are still perfectly serviceable.
I remember years ago seeing a list of the “most expensive liquids in the world”, and black printer ink was near the top of the list.
Other things on the list were scorpion venom, cobra venom, crab blood, insulin, things of that nature.
Kodak is to blame for that. Printers used to be expensive and ink cheap but then Kodak flipped the business model and made a ton. Other printer companies were losing out, so they followed. I guess also blame falls on the consumers of that time for choosing that model as well
I love the idea but I don’t see how it will be enforceable. Companies routinely ignore California laws if they only exist in California.
This is just for city of Los Angeles, which is a small portion of Los Angeles county, let alone the entire state of California.
Hey this was actually some good news in regards to US laws for once.
Here in the state of California, we still have the qualified in regulatory positions. Hell, I think we already reintegrated with the WHO.
I’m glad to read that, keep that up! 🤗
Repeat after me: plastic does not recycle. It inevitably degrades in the process.
Regarding printers… ink tanks is the only sensible answer.
Laser is the answer. Inkjet dries and clogs the jets if not used often like back when it was invented. Hardly anyone prints like that anymore.
Only problem with laser is the desk size for color laser. If you don’t print very often, and you want color, a laser can take up space.
Community ink tanks, with pipelines to transmit the ink from where it is mined to substations, and on and on.
Water pipelines to the home. Gas pipelines to the home. Ink pipelines to the home. It just makes sense.
The children yearn for the ink mines?
Can’t print your homework? Back to the mine with you!
I’m in favor of ordnance targeting printers in general.
Refillable needs to be default
Wow. Just in time.

I believe the cost is more to do with the electronic components. Ink cartridges are kind of like the OG disposable electronics and now we have disposable vapes.
