Release date: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dateline - Wayne, NJ, May 9, 2002 -
Users of low cost ink jet printers get taken aback when they find that a set of replacement ink cartridges often cost as much as they paid for the printer itself. Repeat-O-Type Manufacturing Corp. has developed a group of products that make printing with the Epson Stylus Color C60, C50, 777 and 680 printers more affordable. The products are kits that refill the black and color cartridges and electronic chip reset devices.Kit #ESC17RBK contains enough black ink to refill Epson's T017, T026 and T028 black cartridges five times. Kit #ESC18RC contains enough cyan, magenta and yellow inks to refill Epson's T018 and T029 color cartridges five times. The suggested retail price of either kit is $24.95. The cost to refill the above cartridges works out to only $5.00 per fill.
The cartridges used in these printers contain "lockout chips" that prevent them from being used once the original ink supply is depleted. The chips must be reset to read "full" before the cartridge can be reused. Repeat-O-Type's reset devices accomplish this by simply touching the resetter to the chip on the cartridge for six seconds. The resetters contain long life batteries designed to perform hundreds of resets.
The #R4 Resetter is used for the 680 and 777 printers and is priced at $35.00. The #R5 Resetter is used for the C50 and C60 printers and is priced at $39.00.
As with all of Repeat-O-Type's Refill Ink Systems, the products are warranted not only against defects in materials and workmanship, but in the unlikely event that they damage a printer, Repeat-O-Type will repair or replace the printer at its expense.
