How about some info, what printer, what noise? BTW, it is not illegal to use third party inks or papers in printers. Mark http://www.stillrivereditions.com

Problem solved by going through a few dialogs on the printers lcd display. It's a Stylus Pro 4880. Any idea how often this q & a will turn up?

The printer asked me a few questions via its lcd screen ... I had to acknowledge that there is no warranty if the printer is damaged by non-genuine inks and ... did I still want to proceed, etc.. What more can I tell you? On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 10:39 AM, Mark Savoia <mark@...>wrote: > > > What q&a?

It will do that every time you turn it on with 3rd party cartridges. It will also do it every time you add a 3rd party cartridge. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

... so leave it on all the time (I do) and expect some s**t every time one of the original Epson carts runs out & I replace it with 3rd party.

This is a form of psychological torture. Pavlov used intermittent reinforcement just before his dogs became abjectly obedient. Epson seems to have taken his book to heart.

FWIW I've been dealing with that issue for years and it's really only as much as a big deal as you wish to make it. The savings of using third-party carts over the pricey Epson carts makes it worthwhile. Whenever I see that message it reminds me how much money I'm saving!

And it's not that hard to quickly move through the responses. That said, the only thing it's going to accomplish is to make me look very hard at other brands when it's time for me to buy a new printer. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

It wasn't hard to move through, but it caught me by surprise when I didn't have much time to put into it. I'm still concerned by the fact that the warning didn't come up until after a month of using the ink. It would not be difficult for Epson to program in these warnings intermittently.

I don't see anything up on Mark's site (Aardenburg-imaging.com). Terry.

Also seems that you'll have to go through this every time you remove/replace a cart to shake it up a bit. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
