More info?)
Walter and Alan are looking for people who have experience with aftermarket
ink products Measekite rants against all aftermarket inks and carts with
the same tired misinformation. He has never purchased from any of the
vendors, nor has he ever used aftermarket inks. His personal experience is
with one Canon ip4000 and one HP inkjet printer, all with OEM inks. He has
absolutely zero experience with Epson printers. Why he continues with his
diatribe I don't know, but I hope that actual users of these products will
continue to post messages to this newsgroup whether their experience is
positive or negative, to help others decide if they want to use non-oem inks
and which vendors and products to consider. Personal experience counts,
Biased rants help no one.
