They might have gotten away with this 30 years ago when HP inkjets were a premium machine that sold for $400-600. But they've spent 25 years giving them away for less than manufacturing cost and selling the cartridges at a markup. They've trained the public to believe inkjets are worth $36 to buy and own, not $36/month.

This is going to boomerang on them—hard.
