Digital BW, The Print

I actually managed to get a refurb 220 out of the Epson store this week.  It
appeared to be virtually new.  I don't know when or if the 260 carts will be
cloned.  So, I wanted another 220 because it's a good printer and excellent
test bed for the rest of the printers we mostly use.  Once I received the
220 I tested it and then put cleaning carts in to mothball the machine until
needed.

Subject: [Digital BW] Epson on the rampage

 

My R220 went down a couple weeks back, simply refused to accept paper 
or DVD. I finally got the tech people to agree to replace it, and I 
repeatedly told them I don't want an R260, already got one, please send 
me another R220. Parting comment from the tech guy? 'we don't want the 
old one back, recycle it'.

Today I received the replacement: a brand-spankin'-new R260. I don't 
normally complain about getting an upgraded replacement, but we all 
know whats up here. Epson is determined to eliminate 3rd-party inks, so 
they want all the previous (refillable) machines gone asap. They no 
longer have refurb R220s on the website, only the R340. Price is right: 
$69.00 & free shipping. So if anyone still wants one get it while you 
can! I did. Anyone want a new R260?
