Re: [APML] Epson 785EPX, 820 & C60

Hello Alan and others:
     I was the one who asked about the Epson Photo 820 printer and thank you
for the information in your recent post.  I too decided on purchasing the
Epson 820 and went to the local CompUSA and found plenty of 820 printers
there, but no color ink cartridges for it.  In contrast there was plenty of
ink there for the 785EPX, C60 and 870 printers.  If getting ink for the
printer is going to be a problem then I don't want the printer and deferred
my purchase.  Do you or any others find it a problem finding color or black
ink cartridges for the Epson 820 printer?
