Digital BW, The Print

I think Keith is entirely correct.  Some dedicated Piezography users have already “mothballed” 3800 printers for use when their current 3800 printers are no longer usable or repairable.  There must come a time when Epson will no longer have spare parts for older printers and thus those seeking to repair their printers will be forced to pay high prices for printers merely for the parts.

 

One hopes and suspects that Walker and the Cones understand that the future of Piezography in all of its iterations depends upon our ability to use the newer Epson printers with refillable carts.  Now that the courts have rendered their opinion I am very optimistic that a solution will be found.

 

Hope all if fine with you David.

The inevitable is that every printer will fail someday.

 

The case referred to is Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark International, Inc. Here are a few links:

I don’t know what’s inevitable, nor what court ruling to which you refer.

If this is some sort of doomsday announcement, please provide a link.

I picked up a lightly used 3880 for the inevitable… and there was a court ruling FOR 3rd party ink suppliers

 

We’ll see…

 

Also, be sure to clean & service your current printer!
