How to use an Epson Cartridge
So what to do with those empty Epson cartridge? Throw them away. Recycle the inkjet cartridges?
Remanufacturer those Epson cartridges. Better not, it might be against Epson trademark rules.
But does this violate any rules from Epson?
What is this, an Epson UFO.

Someone actually took the time to make an Epson Chandelier……What a way to spend a weekend.

Epson UK announces the launch of the LQ-690 Dot Matrix Printer, its the fastest 24 pin 106 column flatbed dot matrix printer to date. This is the first Epson model to feature Print Speed Enhancer (PSE), a new technology which enables high speed printing of bit image data in the Windows environment. The new Epson LQ-690 printer will be available in April.
Ideal for the small business environment, the LQ-690’s flatbed compact design has a minimal office footprint and is rich in features with a broad range of potential applications. The printer is extremely easy to use with its simple operation panel, front paper insertion and paper guide ruler. Durable and highly reliable, the LQ-690 also has an outstanding ribbon yield of 10 million characters – saving money as well as reducing maintenance.
Mark Karsey, Business Manager, Epson UK, commented: “For environments where a dot matrix printing solution is the obvious choice – warehouses, wholesalers, banks, post offices and public sector organisations – the new user friendly Epson LQ-690 adds speed and reliability. Impact printing is the ideal solution for printing drafts, high-volume data processing and multi-part stationery making the LQ-690 a superb product choice.”
Epson LQ-690 key features:
- Durable, 24 pin, 106 column, medium duty flatbed dot matrix printer
- High memory buffer – 128 KB
- Prints up to 440 cps (10cpi) in High Speed Draft (HSD)

- High ribbon yield – 10 million characters
- Copy capability – one original + 6 copies
- Low power consumption
- Space-saving compact design
- Flexible connectivity with Parallel and USB 2.0 interfaces as standard
Personally I sold my old dot matrix printer in a garage sale about 10 years ago. When was the last time you used a dot matrix printer?
