Just received a new batch of inks for my 7800 and the packaging has changed to a more environmetally friendly recycled cardboard. Nice move on Epsons part. Then I open the first package and notice the cartidges are now white instead of gray. O.K. Not really sure why they would change this. The plastic does feel somewhat thinner (i.e. cheaper), not that this should really make any difference. Then I check the expiry date on the top of the cartridge and it now says Made in China But the price is the same. C'mon Epson, if your going to start manufacturing your inks in China, at least pass along some of the savings to your loyal customers. I really hope the QC is the same as when they were manufactured in Japan. I typically reprofile my paper when I change ink, but honestly the Epson inks have been so good from batch to batch that I found I was wasting my time. Hopefully that quality has continued.
