Title: Empty Cart Disposal
Post by: Mike Sellers on September 03, 2013, 01:55:00 pm: I wonder what would be the environmentally responsible way to get rid of empty carts?

Tastar Supply www.tastarsupply.com has a recycling program for Epson professional wide format printer cartridges. Website is not the best, but it's easy to figure out the form, send it in with your cartridges. Tastar gives you a small credit that you can use on future purchases from Tastar Supply. Ink prices are competitive and free shipping. Nice folks.

Inkjet ink is more expensive than human blood. It is also 95% water.
