The shop told mum that the first lot of ink would be used up quicker as the printer has to be primed.

The shop told mum...
Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
threadeds website, and here's my blog. -
No doubt PC World.
I am sure that they rotate their staff with Burger King

Expert information
Reading an article in a 'techie' magazine............
'it doesn't matter which phone you pick as an mp3 player as they will all be playing the same mp3 file....'
On that little goldmine of information I can save thousand of pounds on expensive hi-fi and video equipment as they use the same source information as a cheap alba or amstrad. Come to think of it I can sell my Canon dlsr and by a vivitar from QVC as they will both be used to photograph the same images.Comment

I once heard someone in PC world telling a customer that the latest PC was 2GHz and that meant that they could connect to the internet at 2000MHz.Comment

Any fool knows that the latest PC has the internet already downloaded on its Mp4 Floppy adapator, thats a great feature as you dont need a modem and no more expensive connection bills.Comment

Oh yeah - like
God, you think you know it all don't you?
If you're so farkin smart why didn't you get your mum a printer in the first place.
As it happens: -
a) some printers have a length of pipe between the cartridge and the print head (usually the better kind of printer, that doesn't incorp the head into the cartridge).
b) many inkjet printerd DO INDEED need to be PRIMED with a fairly large quantity of ink when new, out of the box.
On printers that have a droplet counter (e.g. Epson Photo) the initial printer setup will consume a larger than usual amount of ink in priming the printer head feeders and purging the print head.
In short - the PC World lad was correct - and you are not.

The cartridges that come with low-budget printers are usually half empty because the manufacturers want to make money on cartridges and not printers.Comment

Nothing to do with 'priming' tho - just cheating!
