Epsons UK factory is here in Telford. They were producing printers but are now outsourcing them from China etc and locally have switched to ink production . I worked out the cost of ink to a lexmark printer using 30ml cartridges. �800 per litre It costs �115 per ink including head for my HP 36" printer and there is less than 400 gramms of ink in each cartridge,there is no indication to cubic capacity all told Its an expensive game but we work out ink cost and charge the customer accordingly just as we did with wet processing. Equipment costs are, I agree, disproportionatly high in the compared with the USA. Perhaps as as part of the EU we should be able to force prices down If we pulled together but the fact is we can not speak our fellow Europeans language,s so how the hell will that eve work ( Reminds me of the Soviet Union, a union of different people that failed )
