Actually, this statement is kind of wrong - it&#x27;s only the printers fault if it sabotages the cartridges. What if it doesn&#x27;t? It could be the case that the cartridge was faulty, I wouldn&#x27;t assume all printers sabotage cartridges (I use third-party epson ones all the time, have had the occasional faulty one).<p>Not disputing that some printers just refuse to work with third-party carts, but it&#x27;s not the case with most printers I&#x27;ve used.
