The problem wasn't with the printer or the ink, it was with the Epson paper.
Epson gave refunds to those who complained (rightly) that they bought the printer
because of the
advertised print longevity and whether it was the paper, ink or paper was irrelevant
to them
Epson came up with an improved paper which began shipping to dealers on Dec 15, 2000.
The new Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper has stickers on the packaging with the
December ship date.
