If Kodak pulls this off, it could pose a huge challenge to the $50 billion
printer industry, which relies on a bait-and-hook strategy, often
discounting the machines and making most of its profits on expensive
replacement cartridges. "We're very proud that we're coming to market
20 years late," Perez says with a devilish grin. "We think it
will give us an opportunity to disrupt the industry's business model and
address consumers' key dissatisfaction: the high cost of ink."
