I sent this to Epson. So far no response from the proper department as
of yet.

Maybe others could do the same?

"Dear Sirs:
There is no question that Epson is a heavy hitter in the inkjet
industry.
(I am on my 3rd printer:777;c82;r340)

Why doesn''t Epson step-up-to-the-plate and lower the cost of their
cartridges?
They could afford it more than anyone. Being that they use an "ink
tank"
and permanent head design.

This would make a positive statement and boost sales...and have the
other
guys heads spinning!

Sincerely,"

Don't expect an answer until they all recover from the hernia
operations you caused them from laughing.

Unfortunately, Epson has their customers exactly where they want them: a
captive market: you're the captive. And their track record has been to
restrain trade (chipping, etc.) and then confirm that restraint with
legal action. And since when has sociopathic Mr. Bush done anything to
benefit the lives of his constituents, especially when there's a
corporation involved?

Restraint of trade is unlawful in the USA, but don't expect Republicans
to enforce or prosecute. Will Democrats be any less corrupt? I can't say.

One thing that might, however, yank Epson's chain (and HP's, Lexmark's,
Canon's) will be fierce competition from Kodak. We'll see how it plays
out. Meanwhile, let's all refill soon and often with the other guys'
ink. This way, the manufacturers lose completely.

The only way that capitalism benefits us is when true competition
flourishes. We've got to guard and regulate to ensure that the
marketplace for capitalism remains fair and level. Right now, we're
getting the worst of it. It's time for a change.

Don't count on politicians of either stripe to change things for you
(or me, or us). There's been no effective anti-trust action in years,
and the pathetic slap on the wrist to MS for its thuggery was
handwriting on the wall.
 
I suppose every little bit helps, but I have a feeling Epson is well
aware of the general sentiment and the market forces. Besides, they have
to try to get back all the money they've spend on proprietary chips and
designs to prevent refilling, and the lawyers' fees. ;-)

Nothing from them...and I am not surprised!
Epson MUST be making huge profits with ink tank vs head/tank cost!
