Waste Ink – lings

It seems Watchdog Daily did a report recently on the “Service Required” problem relating an Epson Photo 1400.

You can see the report on iPlayer (in the UK) until it expires here:
Watchdog Daily Ep 6
[Start point 30:24]

Unfortunately the Watchdog report went into no detail and stuck with technical jargon designed to confuse. Obviously very frustrating it wasn’t given greater depth but I’d imagine they can’t recommend third party services and the legal backsides have to be covered. However there is a brief moment where this blog actually appears as a browser tab [timeline: 31:40].

So, if you’ve arrived here because you yourself have done some additional research, this problem is solveable without needing to go to a reporter, or even Epson to pay £100+ (or even, £90 if you get a “deal”).

The Photo 1400 is covered in this article

… and for other printers you can find resources, relevant solutions and more besides using the OctoInjket Quickfind tool.

I wonder if anyone else will do a proper report on the issues and dig deeper… If you do, you know were to find me.

If, like me you’ve ever tried to explain the concept of a waste ink kit and you have experienced the joys of babies and small children, then you’ll probably have found yourself describing printer waste pads in terms of nappies.

Well, I was doing the exact same thing for ages before I hit on the idea of branding the OctoInkjet waste ink kits as something a bit unique…

It’s already proved as something of a hit with customers both new and old and does tend to cut down on the time needed to describe the concept especially as it tends to get your attention right away…

Ok, so instead of changing your printers nappy (diaper) you just potty train the thing with this…

*cue: double take from customer*

So, anyway, it’s official the trademark is now registered, the branding is going on all kits and I’m making inroads on new kit designs for newer printers that have appeared in the last 6 months.
