Hi,

They have 750ml bottles of white vinegar in Tesco for 69c, and malt vinegar (brown) for 39c (I'm not sure if the brown vinegar would undo some of the cleaning benefits by leaving brown marks). ...

I presume it's because most people won't actually buy the new printer each time they want the cartridges, and people will have to keep on buying the consumables once they have the hardware.
