Good News for Lovers of Cheap Ink
Since printer manufacturers began putting special chips into their ink cartridges that were required to make them work properly, companies making after-market and off-brand inkjet cartridges have been in a bit of a bind. Enter SCC, which makes chips that mimic the functionality of those used by the printer makers.
It was only a matter of time before a printer manufacturer tried to buldgeon SCC with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and Lexmark was the one to step up to the plate. Fortunately for those who don’t feel like paying the printer makers’ high prices for their ink cartridges, the US Copyright Office has ruled in favor of SCC.
