Re: [Digital BW] Future of black and white inkjet printing, if any?

2019-07-18 by Paul Roark

Thanks for the response, Walker. I have use IJM carts in the past with good results. I assume the carts you are referring to are listed here:

A P400 with IJM carts may be my best route forward.

There is a rumor out there that Epson printers/software identify third party carts and, in effect, destroy the printer. Do you see any evidence of that? As an old antitrust lawyer, that would a very attractive suit to bring, though I am out of that business personally.

The rumors also indicate that the P600 is more at risk from third party carts than the P400. Again, however, I'm not in a position to have enough facts to judge this. Does IJM experience indicate any difference in reliability between those two printers?

Again, thanks for the response, and carry on the good work.

Regards,

Paul

Reality disagrees. ...
The P400 and P600 work the same, chip-wise, as the older generation. ...
