Digital BW, The Print

Doug,
I would call them to see if it comes with inks and roll holder.  That could
be a nasty surprise.

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: [Digital BW] RE:R2400 Refurbs

>>The important question is: who is doing the refurb?<<

The help FAQ on the site says "Refurbishment is done by the manufacturer."

>>(US) factory refurb page unless I missed it. (Do you have a URL that you
could share?)<<

It is offered at newegg.com.  I have found them to be very reputable (fast
shipping, good prices) for "new" items.  Here is the link but it may be
easier to just go to newegg.com and type in Epson R2400 in the search box.
New units are 789 plus 15 shipping.  Refurbs are 553 plus a dollar shipping.
Replacement carts are 10.45 each.

Newegg only offers a 15 day exchange on refurbs.  I wonder what warranty
Epson itself offers.  If it was a full warranty, that would be good.
Sometimes refurb warranties are shorter.  The website states that it is
possible that accessories could be missing.  This is a general statement
about all refurbs.  Your experience with Epson refurbs sounds like they have
done a good job in the past.

One thing to note, if you have to do a return you must pay the shipping to
return (the replacement unit will be shipped free though).  At 34 lbs, that
will cost you $31-ish via USPS and probably a little less via UPS.
