Epson seems to be forcing people to buy their inks, originally th
chip was designed to stop the ink tanks running dry and now Epso
appears to have gone one step further in programming the printers CP
not to allow other brands of ink to be used, or making it difficult a
the least
It ought to be printerd nice and clearly on the box that this printe
will only accept Epson ink
Please note 'ACCEPT', meaning that it will accept other brands AT TH
USER'S RISK
This ought to be made law...no doubt if it was Epson would lose a lo
of printer sales

ALL THE PRINTERS ACCEPT AFTERMARKET INKS AT THE USER'S RISK

Gentlemen,
I have reached the conclusion that the Epson corporation is both
incompetant and corrupt. Someone should sue their scrawny little asses.
I have an RX500 - a high end combi-device.
Today, the reading on my black ink cartridge hit zero, while the other 5
read between 23-28%
I replaced the black cartridge with a 3rd party product from Gold-Ink.
After installation the printer informed me that it was loading the ink.
I decided to print the test page.
Failure - and worse.
1: "The ink cartridge is different from Epson blah blah blah" message.
This will now appear EVERY time I try to print !!!!!!!!!!
IT IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE HIGH QUALITY EPSON OEM INK AND |
MAY BE SUBJECTING THE PRINTER TO A HEAD CLOG.
| Quote: | 2: The device reset all 5 other cartridges to 0%
3: The device has the black cartridge now pegged at 83%, despite not yet
having printed 1 character
Because the other 5 cartridges now MUST be replaced I still cannot print
and I am REALLY pissed off.
IT IS BETTER TO BE PISSED OFF THAN PISSED ON |
| Quote: | Check how much 6 cartridges (even of
alternative branbd) ink costs - this is an expensive exercise.
THAT IS CORRECT. ALL BRANDED INK IS OVERPRICED |
| Quote: | The audacity of these assholes to pull this sort of stunt amazes me. It
is both amoral and illegal.
THEY ARE IN BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY NOT TO HELP YOU BUY GENERICE PRINTER |
CLOGGING INK.
| Quote: | There is no technical reason for what has
happenned to me - it is just punishment for installing a non-Epson
cartridge - something I believe is my commercial right.
I mean, how much money do I have to spend on cartridges before I give up
DON'T USE AN INK JET. BUY A LASER |

Is an ERROR message at EVERY print job even marginally apprpriate ?
Where do I get my money back ??

Hi there.
It could be that the 3rd party Cartridge was faulty, and the printer could
not read the chip.
In any case, it is easy to get a hardware, or software, chip resetter, that
will enable you to continue using the Col Carts.
I agree that if Epson Sell you a printer, you are perfectly entitled to use
it with whatever ink and paper you choose, which is what you expected when
you bought it. If they have programmed it to do otherwise, they must be in
breach of contract.
However I would rather disagree with your claim that an RX500 is a top end
machine. It uses the same print engine as the R200 which is fairly
inexpensive.
