Xerox now coding ink cartridges by region

If you work in the ink printing industry, you know most of the profit for printers is “in the ink”.  So its important to have (force) customers to buy your ink and not someone else’s.  Apparently its also important you buy ink for a given region (where I am sure its more expensive) than off the net from a cheaper country or location.  Xerox is combating the internet purchase by adding another DRM to the cartidge that is region based now.
