Digital BW, The Print

There was a horrible leaking problem with the Epson 10K replacement carts 
made in China. This situation ruined a few big printers from what I've heard 
and frustrated a lot of other people. All these companies bought the carts from 
the same outfit in China apparently, and they used junk for glue. All they 
needed was decent glue and they didn't have it. I don't know if this situation 
has been resolved or not but it has kept me from using Media Street or MIS 
inks for this printer because of this dreadful cart situation. They think it has 
been resolved but even the ink companies themselves don't know if they 
should trust their own suppliers. So, where does that leave us?

When it cost a couple of grand to replace heads in a big machine it is not 
worth the risk. Mis and these other companies better get their act together fast 
or the new Epson machines will win out, sadly enough. Their inks may be 
expensive alright, but at least they don't leak.
