O. Chevetaigne Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Have you seen this? http://www.wsj.com/articles/review-epson-kills-the-printer-ink-cartridge-1438683871 If I'm reading this right ( :huh: ) it doesn't look like they intend to extend this model to their pro level photo printers, and the ink (Bk, C, M & Y ) is dye-based - not pigment). But, It seems like a step in the right direction.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 This idea/conversation isn't exactly new. Pro photo-shops have had this for ages. Fountain pens have had bellow reservoirs long before disposable cartridges. Cigarette lighters started of with petrol/alcohol soaked cotton(?) swabs, then became disposables. So as someone who has just seen a Kodak all-in-one printer die on me, just past its warranty period. :angry: Who only offered to sell me a second hand printer for £50. :( I hope that these machines will last for several years more.

Nazario Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have a HP OfficeJet 7110e Wide format (A3) printer. While it is still essentially 'cartridge based' the cartridges are actually liquid inside (or so it seems) and it takes 5 minutes to prime itself in a morning sucking the ink/dye through the pipes etc. Never clogs up and is a brilliant printer. So good I bought one for home too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
