Digital BW, The Print

Well, not really.  Don't go in there and even plant that seed in their
head.

Non-Epson inks, the way they taught it in Epson repair school, only void
the warranty if THEY caused the failure.  If the machine passed five
sheets of paper causing the problem, it's the feed roller/pick-up
system. 

If they try to pass that one, just leave it there, call Epson support
and have THEM tell them to do the warranty.  Epson is pretty good about
all REASONABLE warranty work. I have replaced stuff that cost twice the
cost of a new printer, under warranty.

Cheer up.
