I don't think Epson is misleading at all. They use dye and pigment in their purest sense. The fact that the terms overlap at some point is moot when dealing with the general public. All they (any printer manuf.) want is to sell the machine to the home shmo for about $100, give him a cartridge he can't fully empty and make a high profit on the refill. I am sure Epson understands two things: 1. Professionals using the machines know the differences in the inks and will do their own research, etc. 2. Groups like this will take care of what's left <BGGG>! Ad nauseum if necessary.
