I have been told that I can no longer buy only the replacement ink cartridges for Leica cassette and slide printers. The ink cartridge was already an outrageous $411.00 each. Now you have to by a kit for $566.00 each. The kit includes a replacement plate along with the ink.
Why in the world the replacement plate would need to be replaced every time you replace an expired ink cartridge is beyond me, other than a shameless scam to up the price on the already completely overpriced ink cartridge. Has everybody been told this by their Leica distributor? If so, I think a lot of us will be looking HARD at other instruments when it comes time to replace slide/cassette printers! Sandy C.
