Digital BW, The Print

Of course Epson's recent US court victory does not apply to Europe, 
where I'm based (Netherlands). But it would be naive to think it has 
no effect. Actually I don't know what the legal status of refillable 
cartridges is in Europe. I assume they're (still?) legal, since I got 
my 2100 set from the UK. If so, I would not be afraid cartridge 
manufacturers will stop making them, assuming many of them come from 
Asia... 

But encouraged by their success, Epson might aim his arrows to Europe 
as well. And the leading ink B&W suppliers (Cone & MIS) are US-based. 
They are not directly affected, but without US cartridges less 
business for them, which could have the risk they go out of 
business... And finally, this community may diminish and new 
developments can get sparse...

Anyone some more insights?
