NO.
Well my printer just went belly-up and died until I get the ink pads replaced. Good thing I can squeak by with what I've got for Tokyo in Tulsa. I printed my last critical thing right before it died.
It turns out according to Epson since I got the "end of service life" message on the ink pads, I qualify for a loyalty discount if I purchase another printer. I realllly didn't need another expense like that, but since my birthday is coming up and my parents are super awesome they're going to split the cost of a new one with me with the loyalty discount and a $100 mail-in rebate Epson has going right now on the new equivalent printer.
If it's not grossly expensive to replace the ink pads, I'm thinking my plan of action will probably be to get the old printer repaired and then sell it along with 12 unopened ink cartridges that won't work on the new printer. I'll probably offer it up on here, DA, and the Ringling forums. The printer itself will probably be at least 50% less than what I paid for it along with over $100-worth of ink.
I just can't win lately, I swear to God.
But my parents kick ass.
