Ink Cartridges. Epson. Used.
It’s really the printer that is obsolete, and may be featured here soon. Printers and their inks embody the concept of built-in-obsolescence. I had to change the ink cartridges the other day and it struck me how there is now three times the waste now that they’ve got them in individual colours, which is of course a feature selling point.
Status: Discarded. I now realize I should fetch them out of the bin and bring to the recycling depot near me which will take such waste. Quickly before anything mucky gets on it. Although we have two worm composting bins, so they gleefully get most of the muck.
Kill-ratio: 21: 2/ ~10:1
Alt-title: Untitled Objects No. 229 in Cyan, Black, Magenta and Yellow.
As usual Untitled Alt Titles were originally inspired by John’s blog and Richard’s posts at The Future is Papier Mache. “Joke” Alt-title format inspired by Ben‘s joke format at the end of his posts.
If you are more romantic about ink, Day 164’s Inkwell should hit the spot.
And I hate it that my printer won’t print when one of the colors runs out—even if I only want black and white. Bloody ‘out of ink’ message!
And I agree with Richard. I’d love to see your pancakes* 🙂
*Considering your stacking ability.
That is another pet peeve, the one colour thing for sure.
Pancakes:) I make them wheat free these days, so not quite as stackable:)
I’m only a couple of weeks into my wheat-free life so am yet to try the alternate pancake mix (there’s no sand, right?).
Cool that you are doing that too . I started w/ a 30 day trial (what else ?) then more or less off it for 6 months.
I make them from scratch so no sand !
These shots are great – love the stacking.
Thanks Richard. I had them stacked when I took them out of the printer, so it suggested itself.
