It ought to be printerd nice and clearly on the box that this printer
will only accept Epson ink.

Please note 'ACCEPT', meaning that it will accept other brands AT THE
USER'S RISK.



ALL THE PRINTERS ACCEPT AFTERMARKET INKS AT THE USER'S RISK

This ought to be made law...no doubt if it was Epson would lose a lot
of printer sales.
