Epson punk'd me: so funny (not!)
-
Ran into local store & bought the _same_ box of printer ink I bought a couple of months ago (same $$ too). Got it home and noticed that it isn't quite the same. Here's a snapshot (the one on the right is the new one[^]). :| Oh, for fox sake! 🦊🦊🦊 Yep, Epson punk'd me. They're so funny. Aren't they?:~

They did not punk you, you just did not order/purchase/pickup it correctly. Epson 220: comes in BLACK only, multi-color, and Black/Multicolor. You need to make sure you grab the correct box of 220. Look it up, you will see what I am talking about. :-D

Ok, might be true, but did you see the photo of the two boxes. They look (almost) exactly the same and they are the same size boxes too. I know that all tricks committed on a person are always the victim's fault -- everyone cons theirself -- but this one was really tricky. Also, I love marketing!!!! But, I love marketing-speak even better. And, Bureaucracy is an order of magnitude better than all marketing-speak. X|

Well, to be honest, I am not sure why they don't have these boxes/products labeled: 220-1 Black, 220-2 Black/Multi-Color, and 220-3 Multi color, no black. I am sure many, many people make the same mistake.

Simple solution: pick up your printer and place it on your desk. Unplug it from the mains supply, then open it. Remove the Black cartridge and turn it upside down. Then hurl the printer out the window and buy a laser ... :-D

I have followed the first N steps & my basement window is broken & my printer is in pieces on the front lawn. I have obtained a laser (got it from the cat). Accidentally shined it in my eyes so I cannot follow further steps. :rolleyes:
That is part of the plan. If you can't see, you don't need a printer. :-D

A good laugh cures most problems. Years ago, I bought a multi-color Brother laser printer. Used it a couple of times back then and have never used it since. The Toner was hideously expensive BWT.

The solution is don't buy printers that use a multi-color ink cartridge. Yes, the printers will be more expensive but the lower ink costs, especially for heavy printer users, will cover it.
