Epson released a firmware which does not allow to use non-original cartridges for printers

At the end of October, 2019 it became known that Epson released a firmware which does not allow to use non-original cartridges for printers, but did not warn about it clients.

Affirms that the company distributes program updates which at detection in printers of cartridges of third-party suppliers just switch-off the device. At the same time unofficial cartridges perfectly work on the equipment which firmware was not updated before. The problem is that Epson did not warn users that updating will deprive of them an opportunity to use third-party cartridges.

Epson released a firmware which does not allow to use non-original cartridges for printers.

Dissatisfied users made the class civil action and took with it legal action. So far claims concern only printers of the Epson WorkForce WF-3640 All-in-One and Epson XP-830 Small-in-One models. According to users, the program gave error messages where it was specified that third-party cartridges are incompatible with the printer then devices stopped work.

In the annual report of Epson for 2018 it was noted that use of cartridges of third-party producers can strike blow to the profit of the company which intends to resist to expansion of competitors. However among expected measures improvement of quality of ink of Epson and development of an advertizing campaign, but not updating of a firmware which will switch-off devices with cartridges of third-party suppliers was called.

Cheap alternatives disturb producers of printers long ago. However other companies decided to deal with the problem some other way. So, the HP company decided to levy the mezzanine board from clients who buy the printing equipment, but want to use supplies of other producers. The same who undertakes to use only supplies of HP will be able to purchase the printer cheaper.[1]
