Digital BW, The Print

Perhaps the way Epson shuld go is to charge a realistic price for their 
printers and the same for their inks, rather than subsidising one withthe 
other. Low useage amateurs would be worse off while professional printers 
would be better off, but at least there would then be totally open 
transparency (to mix my metaphors). It would also sort out the 
"Contemptibles" market, as one would know that anything looking too cheap IS 
too cheap, and so to be avoided. Whether Canon and HP would follow suit is 
another matter of course ....

My two pennyworth ...

What\ufffds wrong with a company (anyone) wanting to protect and generate a
return from its intellectual capital?  Nothing wrong with shopping around
for a free lunch but you should be happy you had a free lunch this far.

Being too greedy is a nice way to kill your market. In the first place if
the
price of the original inks were reasonable, compatible market would not
be that strong or won't even exist.
