Anyone taking part in BDS knows that HP is one of the companies we should boycott due to their support for Israel. However, printer manufacturers generally sell their printers at a loss and make most of their money by selling overpriced ink instead. It’s a complete scam in fact since those ink cartridges only cost a couple of cents to make. Wouldn’t we hurt HP (and by extension Israel) more if we do buy their printers but then buying third party ink instead?

Although to be fair, I’d strongly recommend staying away from inkjet printers and using ecotank or laser printers. Does the same logic apply for those types of printers?

    Then you’d have to keep buying third party ink cartridges (since you can’t buy from HP) for a printer which very much does not want you to, etc
