Re: [Digital BW] Using an Epson 7600 with a B&W inkset

2006-01-29 by Larry Burk

Several people on this list and others have the opinion Epson cant deny 
warranty coverage unless they can prove its the third party inks fault. 
Others have thought that to avoid the hassle you could keep the Epson 
color carts and reload before tech arrives if the trouble points to 
clogged heads or similar. Im not a lawyer and AFAIK they werent either 
so for me Id just do it and argue later if necessary. :)
If you go for the new 7800 be sure to buy the paper and printer on the 
same invoice to get rebate. Some dealers like mpex.com have very good 
price on Epson paper and inks delivered and are negotiable on printer 
price. 
You might also ask what the print counter shows on the 7600.
