Epson cartridges). The patented Epson cartridges were a single-use product, meaning that once the ink in the cartridge was depleted, it was necessary to dispose of, and replace, the entire cartridge.

Calidad) then purchased the modified cartridges and imported those cartridges into Australia for public sale.
