HP Printer Ink Shortage?

[SkyB]

I've never asked a question quite like this before but is there any information or reason on the huge shortage of printer ink? This isn't a technical issue, per se, but I'm having trouble finding ink for my Office Jet, and until then it's just a giant, useless paper weight. 

What's going on and causing these shortages? Are there plans to remedy this? 

Maybe I can just consider my printer to be a avant-garde art installation until then...

Does that mean that there has been a massive recall of ink cartridges?

I would guess that a manufacturing problem would indeed create a shortage.

I don't have information on an official recall.

Doesn't mean that isn't one - just means I don't have the document saying this is the case.

You are welcome.

Stay Safe.

Thank you that's interesting. That might be a safe assumption. All the stores in my local area are almost completely out and I was told that they stopped receiving shipments a few weeks ago, but weren't given an explanation.
