Tony; I have an Epson Stylus Photo 890 that works well. I just check for ink levels occasionally... and it warns me with a blinking red light when ink levels are low in one cartridge or the other. My Printer Utility even tells me, based on the last job printed, how many similar jobs it estimates can be done on remaining ink levels. There doesn't seem to be any problem with the thing. And there doesn't seem to be anything time-based about it.
