Running a basic all in one printer/scanner Epson Stylus DX3850. iT USES 4 cartridges originally from Epson. Each has a chip which registers with the PC. Within a short period of time you get a warning window that says you have less than 20% ink left Please buy now(link to web site) This of course is just a ploy for you to pay the big price for genuine Epson ink. I buy all my cartridges from
www.rubberfrog.com which is based in Jersey (channel islands UK) Ink is only 99p per cartridge(plus free 20 sheets A6 Glossy photo paper) and if you keep your order under £18 there is no tax and free delivery.The printer comes up saying that you are not using genuine Epson ink. Hit continue and all is well. I am getting excellent photo`s and documents. So are all the majors on scare tactics for the newbies???
Does anyone else feel that they have to buy original ink or other items.
cheers
ps you can run printing long after Epson says your out of ink.
