Further to my problems with the waste ink counter, I complained to the MD of Epson UK and very quickly received a response from their pre sales support manager of business systems, who I spoke to at some length. As I had solved the problem, there was little I wanted him to do, but he did listen and has promised to look into the costs of replacing the pads. If anyone needs the contact names, I can provide them.
I have also strongly suggested that Epson join PROGID, for all the obvious reasons. It will be interesting to see if they do!

Gosh, did I write that? <G> Yes, I did.........after the endorphin rush of digicam purchase fulfillment wore off, it was - huh, is that it? Really difficult to shake off having no film and endless exposures. Eventually realising that many years of shooting blind with film gave me an extreme advantage and I took to digital like the duck proverbial. Best mind candy ever. Took the manual everywhere for the first month. My first impulse was to go and shoot thousands of pix and get through two sets of batteries a day.......as in light touch paper and stand back. So glad of my acquired discipline with film, the overlap of technology being entirely complementary, as one mirrors the other. I believe it is very important for digital photographers to fully understand each and every aspect and function of how a digi-cam works and operates inside out - night and day. It is too easy to make a competent picture with a digicam, and photographers with clients who settle for 'good enough' need to push very hard to transcend their own limitations. Ironic that it serves to drive prices and perceptions down of what constitutes good photography. There was a time when using film meant you had to take risks and clients knew this, so really good photographers could charge really good prices. Now, there are no risks, digital capture locks everything down as digitised photons immortalised forever. Lets face it, the nature of photography buyers has changed - everything changes all the time, and I just pretend there is another world just waiting around the corner with a higher state of conciousness. So in the meantime, practice - practice - practice. <G> my kind regards Willam Curwen http://www.william.ws =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
