This is hardly a statement that Epson would make themselves. Its been pointed 
out by others to explain Epson's marketing model (such as Harald Johnson in 
"Mastering Digital Printing"). The closest I have ever come to having an Epson 
employee agree to this statement was to have one reword it to "Lets just say 
that media and inks are a more lucrative profit center than desktop 
printers"... which seems both accurate and well worded.
