[QUOTE="websnail, post: 217786, member: 15726"] Most of what you're referring to here Mike is how waste ink has been handled until the last few years. The maintenance reset utility you refer to is the IPR which Epson were forced to make available in North America due a class action lawsuit. It covered other zones until Epson then started to create zone specific printer models and as you say, you couldn't get them outside North America. Since then unlocked AdjProg service utilities held sway and eventually the WICReset took over where the ISC utility had stopped being developed. Either way, in the last couple of years Epson has finally accepted that they should allow end-users to deal with the waste ink without needing to revert to a service centre. Which is why the bulk of Epson printers now have maintenance boxes with a chip akin to a cartridge. Pricing on the maintenance boxes is actually a whole lot better than expected and while some of them are still way too small for sense the system is a massive improvement on the approach used 15 years ago. So, while your rant has historical merit, it's outdated and totally unrelated to maintenance boxes. If anything if you do some digging you'd see that much of what was so aggravating in the past is mostly addressed, albeit imperfectly. [/QUOTE]
