Re: EPSON C88 VS C86

2005-11-16 by jerry78008

Hi Scott,
Are you sure about the c86 having the same cartridge as the c88 ? My
impression is that the cartridge for the c88 is a new or different one
than the one for the c86. My impression is that it would be so much
nicer of Epson to have kept the cartridges compatible, but that Epson
changed the cartridges for the newer c88. I would greatly prefer that
they are the same cartridge, as I cannot find low cost c88 cartridges
yet, however plenty of c86 cartridges. I would love to be incorrect here.
Jerry
