Word on the street is that Canon, HP, and other legacy printer titans are quietly launching a campaign to reinvigorate the dying ink industry. Their secret weapon? (((REDACTED)))In a strategic alignment with the tRump administration, a massive push is underway to declassify as many sensitive documents as possible. However, there is a catch: the release comes with a mandate for "maximalist redaction." Early industry figures already show a steady climb in black ink consumption over the last six months, culminating in a massive, vertical spike in sales over the last 48 hours.By "releasing" information while simultaneously burying it under thick, inkjet-heavy rectangles of black ink, these corporations are finding a second life. They are betting that this sudden demand for "government-grade concealment" will allow them to maintain their predatory subscription models and proprietary cartridges for years to come.

We want to assure the public that the rise in black pigment usage is a natural result of the current administrative workload and does not involve any classified or unconventional technologies.
