A couple of the printer reps have said in an indirect way that that is the way they make their money. As long as you accept that as a truth you won't be disappointed. A lot of people say, "I might as well buy a new printer casue it is cheaper than a new printer." May be true but consider this...if your car runs out of gas...do you buy a new car? Think of a printer like a guinea pig or a car. The initial investment really does cost you nothing when you look at it. It is the gas, oil, insurance, etc...or in the case of the pig...cage, food, shavings...that costs you the money. Jesse Kline wrote: > hehe, you don't have to apologize to me.
