They sold it at a higher price, specifically emphasizing the value of the cheaper ink. I assumed they did this because they were tired of losing supply revenue to generic ink makers. And their ink is relatively cheap. We've always bought OEM ink with this one because the price is reasonable and the quality is good. What they didn't tell us is that they have a meter that shuts down the printer down at a certain number of printed pages. We had a Brother color laser printer, but we couldn't keep the heads aligned worth a dang. I like Brother b/w laser printers, but not that color one. The toner was also very expensive. My wife prints colored charts (and laminates some of them) for her students. The ink jet does a better job with these than a color laser printer. So the Epson ink printer works really well for what she needs. I'll pay the $10 to fully reset the meter when the time comes that it quits on us again. It's been going for quite a while on the partial reset. I still don't like this tactic, however. -- “Evil is not able to create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good.” —J.R.R. Tolkien
