Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

I'm wiping the tears away from my eyes from laughing at your post.
Surely, it was tongue-in-cheek. Epson is a company that has rigged their
printers with every technology short of an explosive device to blackmail
customers into buying their outrageously priced inks in thimble-sized
carts. Chips in carts to make life difficult and expensive for
aftermarket ink providers, chips that read empty and shut down the
printer when half full...the list goes on and on. And you are just now
"seriously beginning to wonder about the ethics of Epson"?! That has to
be the most pricelessly funny line I've read all year!

Lloyd
