Cartridge sizes

2008-08-17 by Richard Smallfield

Hi,
I just read the specs of the Epson 2880 and was amazed that its cartridges are only 11ml - down from 14ml on the 2400 and 17ml on the 2100.

For anyone serious about printing who uses OEM inks, Epson's 13" printers are now getting to be a non-starter. (Even the 17ml carts on my 2100 are too small for me.)

Their plan to get people to buy more ink cartridges by making them smaller will backfire if people feel they have no choice but to buy an HP (27ml carts) - if an A2 printer is too expensive for their budgets.
