Went to Ink Refill Store for our new Epson -starter ink done .
Man says "OH,no those can not be refilled. Showed us the inside of some cartriges that are now made with a chip in them so they can not be refilled which we knew was happening with a lot of printers. Some have 2 chips.
Pd blk $12. color 7 for other printer refills.
Epson ink was going to cost more than the printer and other companies ae doing the same.
Went out and bought new Brother 4way that can be refilled. Sure seems like a lot of wasted manufacturing to make money on inks.
