New Epson Printers


Further information regarding the new range of Epson printers. Of the 3 new all in ones, in my last post I mentioned that the SX100 and SX105 printers use the new Epson cartridges (T0891-894) and not a cartridge that is already available. Not quite the case. The 2 printers do 'come with' these new cartridges, but all the new models will also use the older T0711,712,713 and 714 cartridges as an option. Not too sure yet if the compatibles will work on the new Epson models - if past history is anything to go by probably not. I'll keep you posted. The new cartridges are apparently a 'smaller'!!! version which is designed as a low cost option. The volume of the individual colour cartridges is ....wait for it...3ml each!!!! It seems that all manufacturers are going down this route these days. Better to keep your older machine running than swap for a newer, 'improved' model it seems.
