I have corresponded with some of the smarter people. Some of these use
generic ink but they still agree that what I say is correct. They do
not know what they are buying and never know when their relabeler
changes suppliers and they also agree that generic ink fades more
rapidly and that the quality is not as good.
If you would stick to this basis thesis, no one would have a problem
with you. Most bulk ink resellers do not disclose what they sell.
This is true enough. If a reseller were to change suppliers, in many
cases i'm sure the consumer is the last to know but thankfully there is
always measekite who will rant for months in the unlikely event someone
does. And of all the bulk aftermarket inks i've seen, they do fade
more quickly than OEM. There may be some others which don't, but i've
not met or used them.
The issue with you sir is the fact that you employ emotional
manipluation to all users who have had a positive experence with
aftermarket ink, accepting the short commings. You rant and rave like
a ravid loon telling people who buy aftermarket products are stupid
dolts which will result in the total loss of their printer. Anytime
someone has a printer issue, even if it's clearly a software/hardware
issue, you assume it's the fault of aftermarket ink.
If you were to still to a reasonable explanation why someone should buy
OEM, this would be spiffy keen.
But they say they print a
lot and are willing to accept the downside for the price savings. It is
the dummy who will not admit the truth and the dumb dummy who defends
the relabelers unless they have some interest in the relabeler community.
This is where you start to lose credability. You see, there isn't a
grand conspiracy. There isn't really a community. The people who use
these products are not dummies. They are not "defending" the providers
of aftermarket ink or doing much of anything but sharing their
experence with a specific product. The only FACTS we can document are
that of aftermarket's color vs OEM, and measure how fast it fades,
which are reasonable things to consider.
You started this post in such a reasonable way, and it's so sad that
you had to fall back on OCD type logic. People who make the choice to
use aftermarket ink are not fools, or stupid, but those who simply
don't wish to pay OEM prices, and are willing to manualy refill and
risk a few drops of ink to do it, or buy prefilled aftermarket tanks.
And you know, for someone printing yahoo maps, they are not going to
want the whole of 2 years of lightfastness on plain paper when they
only need hardcopy for a day.
