==============================
TW>EV>All day today I've been looking at "How To Fix It" websites to see if

TW>Cannot adress Replacement but I wil say Renewal is NOT possible if the

Thanks Tom,

While I was looking for information on the web I saw many comments that
Epson printers don't like Ink Cartridges that were NOT made by Epson.

I've always used Epson Inks in the CX3810 so that isn't my problem.

Epson Tech Support ALWAYS ASK if I used Genuine Epson Ink Cartridges.

I like individual Ink tanks, and while in a store Monday I noticed a
HP AIO with individual Ink tanks.

After reading Your comments I wonder if HP has the Print Head(s)
Built-In the AIO instead of on the Ink tank?

I'll go look-see.  Thanks!

I don't like throwing away $$$.$$ when one of the three inks in a 3 in 1
tank goes empty.

In 1994 a Friend complained about buying new Color Ribbons for a
Panasonic 24 pin printer when only the Red color was used up on it.

He got a Canon BJC-600 printer with 4 seperate Inks so He only had to
replace the one color that dried up.

So later when I gave the 9-pin FX-86e printer to the wife for the
Commodore 64 She uses, I bought a BJC-610 for the 486 box.

BTW I had to get a replacement Print Head for the Canon BJC-610 printer
some years ago.

Epson 9-pin printer print heads are easy to replace but it seems like
Epson Ink-Jet Print Heads aren't.   BLAH    HUMBUG   ;-)
