I know we assume they're following the "razor blade" model but I actually find it hard to believe the printers are sold at a loss given how cheap it is to produce at this point.

Unless by "loss" we're saying "less than HP thought it could extract."

They're absolutely not producing them at a loss. The loss is only in their projections and expectations to price gouge their customers.
