Gold is 19.32 Kilograms per litre. 1kg is 35.274 ounces. One ounce of gold is currently 3429 USD. So one litre of gold is 3429 × 35.274 × 19.32 = 2325956 USD.
Printer ink is 23.05 USD per litre per bulk refill, but standard desktop cartridges typically hold just between 3 to 10 milliliters of ink, costing USD 20 to 50, so USD 200 - 16666.
So no. But ppl are definately ripped of depending on what ink packs they buy. Easy to check with gold.
Thanks for doing the math, also I haven’t bought printer ink in almost 20 years, after the last time it asked for yellow to print a b/w page. I still have my old wide format epson in my damn attic though, mostly since I was planning on using the motors and linear rails for a camera mount someday.

Reaction emotes like how wafrn and misskey do would be so fucking peak. They’re instance customizable too.
