Lexmark extends its "Return Program" restrictions to ink
Lexmark announced its extension of its Prebate-style program to inkjet
supplies. On Tuesday, September 12, 2006, Lexmark released the new Z845 single-function inkjet printer. The Z845 supplies are offered at a $4 upfront discount, but subject to the following restrictions: “Lexmark Return Program: The #28 black cartridge reflects a $4 up-front discount compared to alternative cartridges in exchange for agreeing to return the used cartridges only to Lexmark for remanufacturing or recycling.” Apparently Lexmark has also incorporated another lovely feature of the laser Prebate program: the killer chip. According to a source from the media, the printer has a chip that detects a refilled cartridge and turns off the printer. With the proliferation of ink refilling options available to consumers, Lexmark’s move comes as no surprise. With Rapid Refill and Cartridge World stores in hundreds of locations and refill options at Walgreen’s and other retailers, the ink consuming nation is fast becoming aware that new high-priced OEM products do not have to be tolerated.
