Epson recently added information to its Web site regarding the estimated cost of ink used to print disc labels. The estimates should give Polyline customers a better understanding of their ink-related costs if they were to purchase an Epson Discproducer. These estimates were based on  third-party testing commissioned by Seiko Epson Corporation and are subject to the conditions and other notes listed below.

Other Important Information
Estimates are based on third-party testing commissioned by Seiko Epson
Corporation.


These ink costs are only estimates, provided by Epson as just one set of data
about the cost of ink. Actual cartridge yields will vary considerably for
reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity.
Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink
color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridges after the "replace
cartridge" signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges used in the printer
is used for priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head
maintenance. All inks are used for both black and color printing. (Source:

To help with the transition, we have put together a chart which cross-references the old Taiyo Yuden and new JVC item numbers below:
