    The point is that “6 months free ink” is misleading whichever way you look at it because it’s ambiguous since ink isn’t measured in months.

    Even if your reading of it would be the intended reading, then it’s still misleading because it’s just a 6 month trial for a per page subscription. Or put differently: if you surpass the monthly allocation of pages, you would have to pay, making it not free.

    Given that neither the trial component nor the per page component is mentioned in the image and given the fact that the offer is ambiguous, there isn’t much to like or dislike about the deal because the deal as presented is false and non-existent.

    Moreover, you conveniently sidestep all the other issues I’ve mentioned.

    Like the fact that people receive cartridges with their printer that will be rendered useless with no clear warning on the box that this will happen or how to prevent this, instead they’re listed on the box in the same fashion other printer manufacturers list their cartridges that don’t get rendered useless.

      “mentioned in the image” was the part where you lost me. There is no offer, there are no contract details, it’s just an ad. They have to give you details before you sign anything. You can’t blame them if you didn’t read the EULA and TOS before agreeing to it.

        Stop with this bullshit. This is exactly the kind of bullshit subscriptions this community is against.
