Expensive Epson Ink, fiddly, insufficient choice of settings

Full review
As a user of Epson printers for a good number of years I was extremely disappointed with this Printer. The beauty of Epson for me has always been the low cost of Purchase as well as the ability to use compatible inks. I use mine heavily and so when it expired I could easily and cheaply replace it.
As other reviewers have said, it is probably good only for occasional use however my problem, and why I won't buy another Epson, is that Epson deny you the freedom of choice as to what Ink you use ie Compatibles (for example 'Ink-rite'), like it or not you are more or less stuck with overpriced 'Epson'. Whilst the printer will accept compatible inks the chip on the Epson D92 told me the Ink had run out on 'Black' after only a few prints. On inspecting the Cartridge it was 2/3rds full, I then had to 'trick' the Printer into thinking I'd replaced the cartridge altogether, something a less experienced user might not know how to do, and something I don't want to be doing too often either as it is tedious and should be unnecessary. Epson previously gave a choice of accept / reject along with their warning against using non Epson products. Epson disapprove of Non Epson products being used with their printers and their warranty will be nullified by doing so. I am aware of that and accept it, my choice - as it should be.
Another 'feature' I found extremely annoying is that they have done away with the function of bringing the Ink carriage to reload position by use of the button, it now has to be done via the maintainence menu.
My D92 is only days old however I am now thinking about taking it back to Tescos and swapping it for an HP or something which will be less 'dictatorial'
