Epson WorkForce 310 4-in-1 inkjet

Epson has added to its WorkForce line of business inkjet printers with a new model aimed at small businesses.

The WorkForce 310 incorporates fax, copy and scanning functions, as well as built-in Ethernet connectivity. The unit is said to print up to twice as fast as competing models, at 16ppm in black and 5.6ppm in color, judging by the new ISO/IEC 24734 standard. The standard is aimed at providing a consistent benchmark for comparing the speed of models from different manufacturers.

The printer holds two black cartridges, as well as individual cartridges for each color. The 310 also features a 30-sheet document feeder with support for double-sided printing, though paper must be flipped manually. The Ethernet port allows connection to a router for the sake of device sharing.

The WorkForce 310 is set to cost $150

T068/T069/T078 Ink Tank Cartridge Refilling

Every year it appears that thr Inkjet Cartridge manufactuers are spearheading a never ending battle to try and prevent you the user from re-using the products you have purchased.

This is an overview of the procedure from Cartridge World detailing the operation of Epsons T068/T069/T078 series cartridges.

2nd Internal Monitoring System disables re-use of Cartridge

When an individual cartridge is near the “Low Ink” (about 75 percent empty) stage, the monitoring system renders the cartridge “Un-Usable” and non refillable.

When the cartridge is in the “Low Ink” stage it will not be refillable.

In the event the ink level indicator drops to 25%,the cartridge will become electronically damaged and not recyclable.

A second backup ink monitoring system is an ink sensor inside the cartridge near the
egress hole. When this sensor gets dry due to ink depletion, the chip is written to as empty, and the cartridge is no longer resettable.

Refilling impossible if cartridge is empty

The result of all this is that if the chip receives a low or empty ink message it is not
resettable.

For these cartridges, like a car gas tank , they should always be refilled before they are empty.

T069120
T069220

We regret that our Epson series compatible cartridges are not available for Export to the U.S.

T069 Cartridge Compatibility

If you search around the internet long enough trying to find the best price for your T069 series cartridges you'll most certaily bump into sites that are selling these cartridges at super low prices.

Buyers Beware !

Like all to many things in life, sometimes a good deal isn't as good as it seems.

As a result of the recent ruling in the U.S. against G&G (and others), many companies in the U.S. were caught off guard , and had stock they could no longer move in the U.S. marketplace.

Well low and behold, all of a sudden there are Canadian companies selling off Epson Compatible cartridges (an older series) that support earlier series of printers manufactured before March 2007 for the T069 series. They also have expiry dates about 12 months in the future (From Now) versus the regular 24 months that is more typical of newly manufactured products.

So, for now if you need these types of cartridges for your older model printer, you might just be able to take advantage of these specials. Beware if you have problems, these vendors do not have a compatible product for all makes and models, and their future inventory of these cartrides is limited as they are no longer being manufactured.

Regardless of the warranty being offered by these other start-up companies, their products will have expired before the warranty is up, and or they may not be in a postion to provide a suitable alternative product when the time comes. They might not even continue to exist as suppliers at that time.

Metawatch, continues to offer current product model compatiblity , and is a well established vendor of choice for these products.

The choice is yours.
