However, if the cotton in my Entrada 300 has been previously used for jeans and t-shirts, surely the damage has already been done?

And my 100" roll of PremierArt Matte every three months must be small fry compared to someone who buys a newspaper every day?

I'm trying to make myself feel better about my consumption as you can see!!

I see that Jon Cone is now advertising refillable cartridges for his colour inks (I got an email today) ... alas, not for the Epson 2100.

No matter what one does, sometimes it seems to be the wrong thing.

Ah well, an interesting topic.

thanks all of you for your informative posts.
