Q: I have one of their colour printers. Recently, I came across compatible cartridges at half the Epson price, so I got them. Only to find the machine would not accept them. If I don't use genuine Epson ink cartridges, I don't use anything. It is like going to Tesco and being banned from buying Tesco own brand. I feel I am being ripped off. What sayest thou?
A: Epson makes their money from the ink cartridges, not from the printers. Buying a compatible brand makes Epson no money. Epson is not the only Brand that does this. My suggestion to you would be either to buy a new printer that takes "Compatible" cartridges or buy the refill kits for the cartridges you already have.
