    When you tackle a problem like waste ink and, more importantly, the wasted printers that follows hot on its heels, you have to start somewhere.

    Until recently that somewhere has been on a forum at Continuousink.info and also on various other forums like nifty-stuff, fixya, various yahoo groups and more besides.
