Digital BW, The Print

Oh, come on. You don't think Epson could have devised a more accurate
system after all these years to measure these carts? Why should they?
They only did minor corrections when they were sued into it in
California, and we all got our little rebates. I hope it happens again.

Look, both Canon and HP did it with their very first fine art printers
in a responsible way. They both recycle the ink and don't dump huge
quantities in to the waste tank (talking about environmental waste).
These other companies aren't perfect by a long shot but they did that
right.

And that is not even bringing up the MK to PK purge waste  which on a
national basis is huge too.
