They are headed for a big problem with the EU given the EU are not happy
that the EU govs/taxpayers are having to pay the bills for landfilling all
the "un-refillable by design" ink carts.

If this company came along with a way of refilling these carts then they'd
get into deep sh8t if they tried to get the refillers off the EU market.
