Re: [Digital BW] Epson files lawsuits against cartridge resellers

2006-02-24 by jeffrey sutton

Or maybe we should begin thinking about moving away
from Epson (wouldn't want to use the term boycott),
but Epson is the thousand pound gorilla in the
industry and it thinks it will get away with
intimidating third party vendors.

 This quote is from an earlier PC World article - "The
lawsuits are not an effort to stamp out the
third-party cartridge market and are aimed only at
companies that have infringed Epson's patents, says
Alastair Bourne, a spokesperson for Seiko Epson in
Tokyo." If you believe that ...

Even though I have historically used Epson printers
exclusively they are making hard for me not to look at
their competitors with this practice.


"Lots of companies make ink cartridges [for Epson
printers.] If it's fair competition we have no
complaints."
