HP: Disabling 3rd-party ink ensures “best printing experience”

31 10 2016

HP Inc. today said it will restore the ability of certain OfficeJet printers to use third-party ink cartridges, after being criticized for issuing a firmware update that rejects non-HP ink.

But HP is still defending its practice of preventing the use of non-HP ink and is making no promises about refraining from future software updates that force customers to use only official ink cartridges.

HP made its announcement in a blog post titled “Dedicated to the best printing experience.”
