subject: chip in the cartridge?

->  How does a person manufacture a refill cartridge?

->  A digital chip?  Or a chip like in a piece of China?

->  And what is that chip supposed to do?


->  RJT> and then using copyright to keep aftermarket vendors from
->  RJT> making them.

->  I don't think I'm dense.  Maybe it's just because I haven't
->  finished the first cup of coffee this morning.  

->  But what is "them".   Cartridges?  Refill cartridges?

->  Why couldn't an aftermarket "vendor" simply not incorporate
->  a chip when making "them"?

 Becasue the Printer will NOT work without the proper chip in the
Cartridge. And tooling up for the lower volumes then the OEM has
could be a money looser.
Although I hear soem are trying it. And with almost FREE Slave Chineese
labor who knows it just might wrok.
