I don't think many people will click the "buy now" button on a $100K+ printer.

It's only $100! Thew cartridges are $100,000.
This is all I can think of when using HP printers. They will saturate the market and then destroy aftermarket 3d printing materials with DRM
Agreed. I can only hope that today is a new era, where open source software is mature enough, and manufacturing of tools is ubiquitous and cheap enough that a large company like HP will not be able to manipulate the market the way they've been able to in the past.
I don't think it is likely these days anyway, especially when it is not a consumer product.
