Re: 2400 concerns

2005-12-17 by Steven Karafyllakis

I'm no lawyer, but if this isn't the case, it damn well ought to be. 
Retailers will, however, give you a hard time if you admit to 3rd 
party inks, so don't. I have extensive experience at returning 
printers(9 so far, but none for any problem atributable to the inks) 
and I've been quizzed on this every time. My advice is, don't 
completely use up the initial set of OEM carts, so if you do have to 
retun the printer, you won't have to spend $60-100 on a set of carts.
