you could even say the same thing about walmart which I think is a terrible store
We have a revalation here! Measpite has agreed that if a BIG company
relabels, then they're OK! All we need is for Office Depot or Staples to
sell their own "brand" of ink and he'll say that's OK!
Or Pelikan / Nu-Kote, which is actually sold at walmart under it's own
name and under the Walmart label. In fact Measkite him self has bought
the Pelikan brand at office depot for his adding machine {Nov 4 2005,
7:39 pm}. It said it was crap, but that doesn't change the fact that
he knows the brand personaly, and admits it is a brand.
Those store brands are often really easy to look up. The first digits
of the barcode tell you who packaged the package. Officedepot looks up
to Nu-kote. Officemax I believe is NCR but I can not verify this
presently.
I've never used NCR nor Nu-Kote/Pelikan personaly.
<edit mine>
I'm actually close to seattle, and I have taken the time to talk to
them about the subject. I honestly don't know if Kirkland is Ilford or
Pelikan, but I have spent much time and no one I have spoken to has any
idea what it is. Provide a phone number, and a name of the person who
told you that. No one who I've called or seen would tell me.
