Your Humble Blogger is sorry, and really was paying attention the first time, and it all seemed to make sense, but now I need the explanation again: Why does it help me, the consumer, to have all three colors of ink in one cartridge?

Every single time I have had to replace the color cartridge as far back as I can recall, and it happens quite often really, the problem has been one color refusing to print. This time it’s yellow. It’s usually yellow, I think. I always seem to have plenty of blue. I know I have plenty of blue because when I print out the pictures of my Perfect Non-Reader (who actually reads quite well, these days, and is in fact reading this aloud over my shoulder even as I type) she comes out all blue and red and purple, when in real life (as far as YHB’s limited vision can tell, she doesn’t look bluish at all).

Of course, as the cartridge is opaque, I have no idea whether there is yellow ink or not. Did I just print a lot of yellow recently? Or is the cartridge stuck? Or is it the printer refusing to make contact with the yellow? Or is it Evil?

No, I don’t really want to know. I’m just venting.

    If one purchases a printer such as the Canon i860, one gets individual ink color bottles, and the bunnies sing songs of peace and understanding on the weekends.

    “ready for those hot days of modern combat? here’s bunny hazel, locked and loaded for a round of urban warfare – quick and deadly fur fatigues, matching full-length metal jacket, with a lethal M-16 purse to overcome every stormin’ norman with overwhelming force. B-Y-O rabbit’s foot – but with this kind of firepower, luck’s not a factor.”

    battle bunnies.
