Yes, this cartridge is showing a little repetitive "shadow" over on the left border - doesn't bother me much, but my wife complains about it.

I did a quick look at Ebay and found just one vendor selling toner refills for that cartridge - - 2 for $30 or so, shipped. I think I'd give that a try if it is still making good copies when the toner runs out. Otherwise, I did see at least one new genuine Epson cartridge there for about $60, shipped. Good luck. - - - JimH. .... MultiMail, the new multi-platform, multi-format offline reader! --- MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.46 * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) .
