All I can see is Goods must be durable - last for a reasonable time. Your opinion is 3-5 years, mine 1 year.....this is where IMO the CGA is flawed. but the assessment fee is their problem not yours So what's stopping the dis-honest people knowingly thrashing there printer to hell, giving it to the retailer claiming warranty, then once the repairer discovers it's the inks or physical damage you expect the retailer to foot that bill!!?? What's fair about that?? Often that is why people prefer not to deal with the repairs direct...because they can't escape the bill if there kid has jammed rubber bands down the paper feed ;) I think that the ink isn't really the problem either, it's the loss of profit from not creaming on the cartridge sales. I'd love to see a genuine costing on ink cartidge manufacture too, gram for gram it's one of the most expensive fluids on the planet. Often the aftermarket inks (Intec I use & can comment on) are often very thin & in turn when not used often dry up & cause blockages. I've had to send my Epson in when I didn't print for 3 weeks & the aftermarkets blocked it.....in saying that I just splashed out for some genuines prior to sending it under wty & there was no way for them to blame the aftermarket inks ;) Cheers KiwiMR2	KiwiMR2 (6464)
