2007.05.16: Wahoo! 100% Recycled Epson 7800/9800 Ink Cartridge Packaging!

I opened my latest ink shipment and was pleasantly surprised.

A sample of one of the original boxes is at the left and at the right is the new, 100% recycled material box. Props to Epson as I'm sure most users couldn't care less how the packages looked. I'm hoping that manufacturers will start using recycled bases for some inkjet substrates and more polyolefin films and other recycleable/recycled signage materials will start replacing scrim vinyl used in aqueous inkjet printers.

Amen, It's not like were displaying ink cases for years to come as art. In fact I think the new one looks better. = ] -Jonathan

I like the new look better, too. The old boxes were like "HEY! In case you don't know what your ink cartridges look like, here's a picture". With my operations management background, having just one box and then different stickers with information and barcodes for different contents significantly reduces your inventory holding costs also. It makes a lot of sense.
