I bought an Epson XP-5200 printer from Staples three months ago. It came with the smallest printer ink refills that they make which worked fine.

Subsequently I purchased replacement ink cartridges from Inkfarm when these small Epson cartridges ran out.

The replacement cartridges worked perfectly until .. Epson sent out an 'update' for this printer.

After the 'update' nothing works ... UNLESS I buy Epson replacement cartridges.

This is not right and implies that they are attempting to corner the market on their cartridges and restrict competing companies from selling their products in the ink cartridge market.

Has anyone else brought this issue up and is it illegal to restrict competition in this way.

I think this move by Epson stinks and I would urge anyone to shy away fom this printer manufacturer.

User's recommendation: I would avoid Epson Printers and Inks.
