Dye and Pigment ink for Epsons printers

[jpegman]

Hi @bert01980 - what part of the world are you in? (Fill out some basic account infomation!)
If you are in the US, then ONLY OEM ink cartridges will work in the SCP800!
In other parts of the world, non-OEM ink carts are currently useable.
I guess the question is, if Epson can shut out non-OEM carts in the US, they could (in theory) do that elsewhere in the world if and WHEN they choose.
One of the best resources on the web for printer refilling with 100's of videos (other than printerknowledge.com) is Jose Rodriguez (JToolman) https://www.youtube.com/user/cheo1949/videos

In Germany there are recently indications of blocked out refillable carts too:

Older is better . I will stay with my Epson Pro 3880 printer.

I reckon @pharmacist will be tempted to jump at the Pro 1000 if he could get a good discount deal on it...
