It would seem that Epson is abandoning the Gillette model of monetizing the consumables in favor of taking the profit up front. That might be a good thing for high usage customers, but for the average home user who might print ten to one hundred pages per month it's not very economical (unless they're like my wife who's favorite key combination is ctrl-P). I'm not sure where the cross over in terms of print volume is, but a $100US printer that I might use 3 sets of cartridges in it's lifetime is still cheaper than a $500US printer. Besides, at some point the non replaceable print heads are bound to get clogged up.
