The New Year Cash Cows
By Barry Shultz
We are all fighting the good cause to find a cheaper alternative to the
oppressively priced OEM supplies. Let's keep the fight strong, into the new
year, and shout from the mountain tops, "We are winning!". It's a fact you
can be proud of after you just refilled a $35 cartridge with $2 worth of ink!
The battle will be long and hard because each new year the manufacturers will try something else to thwart the efforts of refillers. The cash cows
are already brainstorming new ways to beat any attempt to refill your own cartridges. It's just a matter time now until they unveil their "New Year Surprise".
Whatever it is somebody will figure out a way to defeat it. When Epson
printers hit the market with the killer chips everybody panicked. But now
anybody refilling Epson cartridges is equipped with their universal chip
resetters and a Grinch smile on their faces.
HP has their C6578 cartridge from hell and a simple little PRIME tool has defeated the legendary vapor lock problem. Before the advent of this tool
they were virtually impossible to successfully refill on a regular basis.
What will they think of next? What comes to my mind is from the old "Get
Smart" sitcom, "This cartridge will self destruct in 30 seconds". "POOF"!
Heheh, well if you didn't get that joke then just keep reading and enjoy
being that young.
I'd better not offer them any more ideas, someone out there probably just
said, "Hmmmmmm".
