I bought a new epson cx4800 in January 07. I like to print 8 x 10 photo which use a lot of ink, and the epson can do
the job better than most printers around $100 in the market, being a heaver user, I bought the 2 year warrenty also.
Just last week the printer stop printing yellow. I refill the 601-604 cartridge about 5 times before the printer quit.
Having the warrenty at hand I took the printer to Best Buy and they let me pick up another similar printer. To my
surprise I find all the computer stores around Richmond do not have any Epson printers that uses the old generation
cartridges, I mean the ones that can be reseted by the reseter. All Epson printers they sell use either the new 78
or the 69 series cartridges, which there is no reseter available anywhere for now. That means no one can refill
the new Epson cartridges until someone come up with a reseter which can handles the new 9 pin chip cartridges.
Then I remember the good old BCI 3s and 6s which I can refill easily, again Canon comes out with cheap printers
that use the 40/41s which the printer sells for $50 but the cartridges cost $60+, anyone knows where can I buy
Epson cx4800, 4600, 4200 that uses good old t601, t441 t321 cartridges, or better still, where in Vancouver or
Canada can you buy a new Canon i550, i560 that uses BCI3s? I know some is available in E-bay but I don't like
shopping on-line. I ended by picked up a R260 anyway. The message is anyone buys an Epson or Canon today
will not have the option of refill their inks cheap like before.
