I have a llb, llm and I am. Again I say you are wrong.
"Anna Daptor" wrote in message ... "Shooter" wrote in message ... No you are wrong, I refer to my many posts regarding the the loss of a County Court action I brought against Epson UK and lost. Get yourself a better lawyer. One that knows the law might be a good idea. "Anna Daptor" wrote in message news "Shooter" wrote in message ... This discussion now brings up again that Epson will not honour a warranty claim if third party ink is used or can be proved to be used. Since when? There's *nothing* stopping anybody using 3rd party inks in Epson or any other printer. Epson are just employing scare tactics in an attempt at ensuring their cash cow. Using 3rd party inks has no baring on any warranty claims. |

Suggest it is false reasoning. One gallon of gas would transport you and the car about 20-30 miles. One gallon of Bourbon would kill anybody drinking it at one go. One gallon of eye drops would keep a small town's population medicated for a month. One gallon of printer ink would supply how many year's worth of printing?

This discussion now brings up again that Epson will not honour a warranty claim if third party ink is used or can be proved to be used. They don't wanna know if an exhanged printer goes the same way as the first one - OEM inks was used on both printers. And they told me the guarantee is not transfered to the exchanged one, in other words if the exchanged one broke down that was it. Bad practice, poor company = Crap company AND nothing better. Davy |

None the less, take water, which costs nothing so the profit is infinite, or the Visine which probably cost 50 cents to manufacture. |

I've heard of that. It's got to be one of the most outrageous laws devised. And the stupidest constituency to put up with it. |

While the facts are true (based on current retail prices), I only intended
to exhibit the irony rather than foster a reasonable debate. JC On 10/10/05 11:14 AM, in article , "George E.
