Title: Epson Inks and Paper Price Increase
Post by: Ranger Rick on October 21, 2018, 12:21:54 pm

Got an email from a vendor saying Epson inks going up 5-10% on November 1, papers too.  Said this is first increase in 12 years.

I think that's BS but I did order some 3880 carts from BH yesterday.

Not that long ago the carts were $45-50.  Now $55 and going up.

Unfortunately it's true and the manufacturer's are doing it directly which results in resellers having to increase it.

Hahnemuhle increased their media and Moab did a month or so ago, so it's happening through many manufacturers.  It stinks, but what can most of us do when the manufacturer's increase it for everyone?
