inkjetcartridge.com -- bad

Cartridges for Epson C-64 were empty or leaked out overnight in the printer.

They never sent the return envelope.

maxpatchink.com -- good

Very helpful. Calidad and Premier cartridges worked ok in Epson C-64.

this relabeler will not disclose what they are selling to the buyer.
you can never be sure as to what you are getting. it could be fair
today and bad tomorrow. and it could be the same junk that gave you
trouble that you bought from another relabeler. with factory ink you
pay for and get consistency and a properly labeld product.

I've used inks from atlanticinkjet.com (separate US/Canadian divisions)
the longest and they're good.

Right now I'm using color inks from hobbicolors.com and BCI-3eBk
(pigmented) from atlanticinkjet.com with excellent results.

I believe HobbiColors only sells inks for Canon printers at the moment.
Atlantic Inkjet is full service (all printers, even the new Canon 4200,
5200 series).

I would like to try alotofthings.com but they don't ship out of the USA.

Thanks for input Mikey.

What I am hoping to do is get as many good and bad ink brands together
so we can do a edit and do a good and bad list for all to see.

Not interested in,"I told you so" comments and "you
don't know what you are buying", for all I care it
could be flea water, it either work's or it don't &
it's either good or it's bad.... refill kits included...!

Thanks for all responses so far...

For starters, Measekite, you made your reputation as the resident troll
and were promptly killfiled by 90% of the members. Does anyone need
anymore reason to doubt your comments. So anything you say usually needs
someone to correct you.

Alotofthings sells largely on eBay where they have a 99.9% positive
feedback rating from 11,279 unique customers. They sell some very high
quality ink. The positive feedback rating doesn't include repeat buyers.
So the number of satisfied customers is much higher. As for negative
comments, only 8 people out 11,279 left negative feedback. And these are
usually non ink related (lost in mail, slow mail delivery, etc).

So yes, I would very much like for Alotofthings to reassess their export
policy, regardless of Measekite's more than totally groundless fears.

Anyone who listers to or takes meashershithead's advice need to have
their head examined.

as pcworld reported the generic inks get worse over time. it does not
clog right away. it is much like the drainage system in a house.

in business today and gone manana. the guarantee is meaningless
 
Goodo
trouble is, we're getting all the good ones............ we need th
crap ones as well..... surely there must be one or two have use
dodgy brands

Come think there must be load's of good and bad brands, surely all th
suppliers don't all sit in a dark secluded corner...... busy fillin
by day n' fillin' by night, so who's doing it for them..?

Gee, folks I thought I'd have hundreds of replies ... bet you all us
OEM on the quiet....!

Every time I look at Mona Lisa, she sort's of smiles and say's...
"Oh no not another clog, never mind dear"

Since few sellers (online or brick) sell BCI-3e black cartridges that
are pigmented, I would not be willing to chance a purchase from these
places you name. I do believe alotofthings does have quality pigmented
black cartridges. Perhaps someone here can confirm this . . . I'm too
tired right now to go to eBay and check.

Well, let's be perfectly honest and totally truthful here. Alothofthings
has, what, 12,000 positive feedbacks on eBay? How many positives do you
have, again? I hear you've been mostly killfiled here (probably by that
same number of people - 12,000 :-). Not much of a positive feedback is
it. Your credibility here has been destroyed, thanks to yourself.

I used Printrite successfully in my previous Epson printer but using
them in my new Photo R320 has involved me in a lot of head cleaning
processes, so I'm not very happy with them now.
