Hm yeah, competing with such loss leader printers would be difficult. But how come I’ve never heard of anyone making things such as bootleg printer ink? Or does the police barge into the doors of anyone who tries?
Can confirm that bootleg printer ink is a thing. It used to be all I used. While sites dedicated to it off Amazon doesn’t cut it.
But as someone else pointed out, manufacturers have been adding “DRM” to cartridges in more recent years. Even in older printers, I will get complaints doubting the authenticity of the cartridges I was putting in.

there is bootleg printer ink, and the OEMs hate it so they put chips and sensors to only make printers take “genuine” ink
You can find plenty of bootleg printer ink around, you just have to ensure you have a printer that isn’t locked to the manufacturers ink.
