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

2006-02-24 by john dean

Don't you think people will find a way to refill the original Epson
carts with whatever you want? They already do with the 10K. It isn't
easy but it can be done. I guess resetting the chip would be essential
and I don't know if they can stop that. Save your empty carts.
