And even worse yet, there was a class-action lawsuit against Epson because of the "saying it's empty before it is" behavior. Epson ended up settling -- the settlement was basically for every printer you bought from Epson, you could get a $45 credit that you could only use at the Epson online store. I think there were other options to just get a check but you wouldn't get as much money out of it.

How much ink would that buy again? One or two complete sets of all colors maybe? And as part of the settlement Epson was able to deny any wrongdoing and nothing changed.

I wonder how well the lawyers cashed out on that one...
