Epson may not reduce the size of the cartridges BUT they put chips in the that make them much harder to refill. That means more junk in our landfills. Shame on them both.

HP is not the first to do this. Lexmark led the way with the first machine to do everything and then got their money from refills. I have only used Epson printers since they have been making printers for many years. I also buy generic (ProColor) refills. I get 4 black and 3 color for about $30. If people stop buying HP printers and cartridges, they'll get the message. Have you looked for any generic cartridges for your lp?

They sell those printers for next to nothing, like $29 or $39 or less and then they charge you out the butt for the ink cartridges. It figures. THAT is a ripoff. When I looked at the size of the cartridge I was amazed at how small it was. My old HP cartridge lasted a couple of years. This new one was about the size of a postage stamp compared to the old one, which was about half the size of an envelope.
