Comments on: More about printer ink rip-offs

PC World tests a bunch of printers and finds that some left almost half of their ink unused.

I just print everything at work........which I know is wrong, but I am sure most consumers are doing the same thing....which doesn't make it right......BUT they haven't fired anyone at the HUGE company that I work at...especially for a fedw pages of print per month.

We have an Epson R200. Still works like new, and doesn't shut off when out of ink. I'll get a warning, but I know it's fully out of ink when I look at my printed page, and there is obviously colors missing, or fading out.

Anyone remember the class action suit against Epson on this issue a few years back? All purchasers of Epson cartridges received $45. Lucky me. My Epson 2200 is still guzzling ink, which it is now being deposited on my prints on the following edge plus "ghosting" text near the end. So I've ruined many sheets of precious paper and used tons of ink experimenting with trying to fix the problem. I'm waiting for email support from Epson. I'd like to hear from anyone who has used the SSC Service Utility mentioned earlier.
