HP ink refills

About a week ago I refilled the HP #56 and #57 ink carts of my PSC 2110
for about the tenth or fifteenth time, maybe more. These particular
carts were purchased from a refiller, NOT from HP. The black ink I used
was purchased in a pint container from a reseller who claimed it was
pigmented ink. The color inks were from a "universal" refill kit I
purchased several years ago, before I got the PSC. It's probably dye-based.

I printed about a dozen pages right after the refill, and the printer
has been idle until just a few minutes ago, when I printed a couple of
Mandriva Linux printer test pages. The test pages printed out pefectly,
with no clogging apparent, color balance excellent.

Now I ask those of you who insist that the only way non-OEM ink will not
clog is through high-volume printing, how is it possible that my carts
didn't clog?

there is only 1 person that insists that non OEM inks cause clogs,
And he's a drunken ass that couldn't find his ass with both hands and a
map.

It's possible because only fools believe that ink from the major printer
manufacturers is somehow magical. These poor souls think that only the
original ink supplies are suitable and anything else is evil.

Yet every single person I know who refills their own carts with quality
ink have no problems doing so.

OK, that explains it. You've been lying all this time. That explains a
LOT, in fact. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yep. But I've had Deskjects clog before if they sit for a while, even
with OEM carts. Those were from the 500 and 600 series, though. The PSC
2110 doesn't seem to have as much of a problem with it.

even from OEM sources.

I'm finished responding to measekite in this thread, too. As I said, no
more long exchanges that go nowhere. Measekite, feel free to have the
last word. I know you covet it so.

Good idea TJ as you're dealing with a brain dead immature mentally
deranged drunken idiot.
He knows nothing at all about ink, paper or printers.
Kill file his stuck-on-stupid ass and be done with him!

My first experience with long-standing HP carts came from a Deskjet 600
series that sat idle in a closet for about a year. I took it out and set
it up to make sure it still worked, and the darned thing worked like it
was new! That was impressive...to see an inkjet printer not be clogged
after a year of non-use.

That printer is still in active use today in another abode, and from
what I hear it still works great.

How is the "archival" quality of the various inks you folks use (My
"better" printer is a Canon i4000) compare to non-OEQ inks, however
"archival" is defined (I wish I knew!)?

Unfortunatly only canon was tested in these tests, but it should give
you some clue. Generally speaking something your spending two
bucks/ounce for in small quanities isn't going to be as spiffy as
something that is 40 bucks/ounce. Not that OEM is 20 times better...
but from the test i've seen it is more lightfast than the cheaper
solutions. There are other inks available in bulk that claim they are
more archival, some in the 5 bucks/ounce range but i've not seen them
tested and most are pigment inks.

Little experience with long term storage here, but I can tell you about
one example. I used an Epson Stylus Color 800 with cheapo "compatible"
cartridges to print an enlargement of a photo of my brother for his
funeral in January 2004. I used a sheet of glossy Staples "picture
paper" from a package he had given me for Christmas less than two weeks
before. The photo was of him holding a big catfish, the largest fish he
ever caught. After the funeral my mother took the print, framed it, and
hung it on her bedroom wall. It still looks as good as the day I printed
it. When it fades, I will be happy to print a replacement.

OTHER THAN OEM IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE WHAT IS SUITABLE
BECAUSE THE RELABELERS WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT THE WHAT IS. YOU CAN BUY
WHAT FROM RELABELER A AND HAVE TROUBLE AND GO BUY WHAT YOU THINK IS A
DIFFERENT WHAT FROM RELABELER B ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU HAVE THE SAME
WHAT. THEY JUST DO NOT DISCLOSE.
THAT IS LIKE A TERRORIST TELLING EVERYBODY THAT ALL THE PEOPLE HE KNOWS
HAVE GUNS
