Digital BW, The Print

I went through a number of 1270's earlier in the year as Epson kep sending
me duds! One interesting thing was that they sent a sheet of paper with one
of them that said you should NOT change the ink cartridges on that printer
until the red flashing light just goes solid red. Changing it before could
muck up the ink counter or something.

In the case of the 1270, I would say that the ink counters are set up to
prevent 'running dry' of ink, a totally different thing! I think there may
be some confusion going on between people on this subject!

i.e. When someone says - "I continue printing until I run out of ink" I
suspect they mean that they continue to print until red light goes solid,
NOT that they continue until none of the nozzles are firing ;)  [How could
you do that with a chipped cart anyway? Or am I missing something here...?]
