Why is my article on demand?
Articles that are on demand, either lack more information or they are obsolete. In the latter
case, there is either an equivalent or the supply has been stopped by the manufacturer for
good. If you come across an article that is marked with "on demand", please do not hesitate
to contact us.
Why is there no availability information for most of the print heads from EPSON?
Most of EPSON's print heads are so called restricted print heads, which means that we receive
these articles on allocation only. Furthermore, we are obliged by contract to serve EPSON's
repair partners first because they need the print heads for warranty repairs. This causes long
waiting periods.
