Digital BW, The Print

Users of CIS systems or carts that violate Epson's patents have no problems
- until the systems break and you need to replace one of the carts that is
used to connect the CIS to the printer.  The problem is that the people we
buy from will find it much harder to buy supplies.  So, prices may go up and
supplies of carts may dry up.  

 

However, it's really too early to know.  I'm just not sure but what there
are carts that are fine and don't violate any patents.  I suspect the
companies with inventories of carts are doing a great business right now
selling to people like us who might be inclined to horde some supplies just
in case.
