If all aftermarket ink companies claim their ink is OEM quality, why
don't they prove it. All they have to do is scan photos on their
website showing side by side comparison of their ink and OEM ink. I
haven't found one aftermarket ink company that will do this. If you
know of a company, please post their name. I might be their new
customer.

It will sort of be like the old Memorex commericial. "Is it live, or
is it Memorex."

You wouldn't believe it even if there is one. Neither would I, as the
site couldn't be trusted to be impartial. It would be a simple matter to
juggle the profiles to make the OEM look bad in comparison to aftermarket.

Tell me - do you know of a single OEM site that puts aftermarket samples
up against theirs in such a comparison? I wouldn't believe one of those,
either - and for the same reason. However, if you do know of such a
site, I'd be willing to take a look. I'd be interested in comparisons to
the more capable aftermarkets, like some of those recommended in this
newsgroup. I'd have no interest in comparisons with "universal" inks
found on drug and dollar store shelves.

If OEM really is better in all ways than all comers, why don't they
prove it against any and all comers? They won't, though. They only show
they're better than the worst junk they can find. I think they're afraid
of any REAL competition.

Because is isn't and they can't. Besides they change their suppliers to
get the same price and then they are at point one again.

They will not even tell you what they are selling.

They do not have to. The amount of the generic ink sold relative to OEM
is insignificant. It is was then the prices of OEM ink would come down.

They won't, because they do not have to.

Because I felt like it, that's why. I wasn't aware that I needed your
permission to reply to anybody, even the group's prize idiot. My
mistake. Should I be seeking your permission before I reply to anybody,
or just if I think it might be the troll?

And tomorrow morning, should I put on my right sock first, or the left?
Life is so confusing...

Some jerks like to advertise what they are and others think they run the
show when they actually are close for the ruin the show.

Now that is clever. Strike One or him or her.

Why do u have to repeat what measekite wrote:
It's bad enough reading it once (well actually I don't)
If you ever have something to say that's worth reading I won't see it
as you and measekite are in my killfile

You are just adding to the proliferation of rubbish in the newsgroup
Have a nice day

It is quite apparent that you did read what you claim ot have read.

Keep using OEM.

Of course you'd think so. Those who are themselves untrustworthy cannot
trust anybody else. Trust is a two-way street, but yours just goes in a
circle.

How do the OEM companies "prove it" as you state?

They use an "independent" third party to test their inks in a supposedly
controlled environment using accelerated aging tests, at the cost of
hundreds of thousands of dollars.


Smaller inkjet ink manufacturers may not be able to afford to do such
costly tests. If they were to just do the tests you state, they would
not be taken seriously in the industry. And that's the rub, smaller
inkjet companies cannot typically afford such testing, also doing such
testing would increase the cost to the end user of the test results.

By the way, Memorex made some of the poorest audiotapes on the market,
and now the company is nothing more than a rebrander. They don't make
anything, they just license their name.
