They are comparing dollars for dollars, so the dollar savings in your
example is $9.41 more remaining in their pockets than in Canon's pocket.
Whether the generic ink quality is equal is the debate. Many here say the
quality of the generic inks has risen to the point that from their
perspective, there is no noticeable difference. As such, the price point of
the product now becomes the only difference to these buyers.



When is the last time you tried out a generic ink? Your continual concern
for others in this matter suggests you may have had a very bad past
experience using generic inks. Another possibility is you are on the
payroll of one of the printer manufacturers.

He just provided proof that he is an idiot. First, he says I am buying
generic ink. This is wrong as I buy COMPATIBLE ink and there is a big
difference between the two. Second, his analogy is flawed. A proper
analogy is that I am buying less expensive unbranded oranges instead of
the more expensive ones with Sunkist stamped on them. For all practical
purposes they are both oranges and, to me, they taste the same. I like
that he buys OEM ink because it means I can continue to buy cheap
printers in the future. Kill file this waste of bandwidth and your
experience here will be much better.

My wife is into scapbooking and she has never complained about fading or
off color prints for the past several years we have used after market ink.
I have never experienced any problems either. Why on Earth would I pay
over $50 more for EVERY SET of cartridges that goes into our printers?

Would someone please post a web sight to buy good quality CLI-8 ink. I must
have missed the first parts of these posts. Thanks for your help.

IMO, you are better off refilling the CLI-8 cartridges due to the chip
placed in them. Otherwise you have to peel the chip off the old cart
and stick it on the new cart. Refilling involves less hassle, IMO.
 
There is none. Canon has a patent on the new formulae. All the claims
are lies.

It is a real nuisance and you get crap, not the ink the printer is
designed to use.

Measles,

Curious, do you pruchase tires for you car 'only' from the dealer?

And the fuel only from brand name stations?

That is a dumb question usually from someone adherent to the church of
the inky stinkies.

If I think that Michelin tires are the best then it really does not
make any difference where I get them as long as the price and service
are satisfactory. Now as long as you get CLI-8 Canon ink it does not
make any difference where you get if from either.

It does not hold true from getting crap ink like many here do.
