[Market-farming] Epson printers

Hey Elise, 
 
You can order from Kodak as well--here's the link for the printer and inks:
http://printers.kodak.com/.  Wal-Mart is the only retail location-it is a
special deal with Kodak--it's a trade agreement that says Kodak will not
promote this deal through other suppliers.  This isn't a deal where Wal-Mart
picked up a certain amount of goods and when they run out, they're out.
It's just you can't and won't find the ink through Office Depot, Staples, or
the other usual suspects for ink. 
 
I've seen the ink even cheaper at other online suppliers but I don't trust
second-market ink for what I do.    
 
Kodak has had a version of this printer out for about 5 years and they are
being careful to present something they can stand behind because this market
is replacing their film market.  I'm not worried about it going away anytime
soon.  
 
Liz

Hi, Liz.
 
Is Wal-mart truly the only place to order? There is no backup source? I find
this concerning because when my epson and my canon were new, WM carried the
ink, but when the next generation of printers were released less than a year
later, poof! the ink disappeared. If there is no other vendor for the ink,
then I would be concerned about the life of the printer.
 
Elise
