[greenyes] buy remanufactured... Re: [greenyes] Epson

[stevew@no.address]

That would be my guess as well - that they want to keep their cartridges away
from the remanufacturers.  Personally I'd encourage folks to stay away from
Lexmark (the "prebate" issue) and Epson Printers Period.  

This has been an ongoing discussion for some time now and I'm happy to see that
folks are contacting Epson for clarification and complaints regarding 
their "program".

I also hope you will consider putting your purchasing dollars (and saving money
on a quality product at the same time) in the right direction.

Please consider purchasing remanufactured cartridges from local vendors or from
us.  I'd be happy to send out pricing or more information, If anyone needs more
information please contact me.

We are an office supply company which ONLY sells recycled and remanufactured
office products.

Thank you,
