Subject: Re: [Leica] Photoshop problem with Cones Inks

I'm no expert on this at all, but as I understand it
it has to do with two things, 

1. The chip that is put in some Epson printers has to
be bypassed (Epson may use this as protection from 3rd
party ink competition, or it may just be firmware that
they use for their own purposes that gets in the way
of the 3rd party manufacturers), although this is not
an issue with the 3000. 

2. In any printer there are software based controls
for things like ink flow that packages like Photoshop
use to drive the printer properly. I gather than the
3rd party inks have to be tweaked a bit vs. the
standard Epson inks.
