I buy aftermarket ink and have zero aggravation except for the trolls in

How does it cost MORE if every refill of OEM carts costs $125, which I'm
NOT spending. I've been using aftermarket inks for over 16 months in my
iP5000 with the same printhead and no clogs. No clogs, just like you're
getting with OEM ink. And I'm not a heavy user (not that it make any
difference at all, I've been both. Now it's just a couple of sheets a
week as I'm not doing any personal project. I know 2 sheets may sound
like a lot to you 'cos I just read earlier that you only printed 1 sheet
per year. Why don't you just get a typewriter? . . .

Not so. If either of my suckers fail in the next two years, for any
reason, I'll get the latest printer. It's not a repair contract, it's a
replacement contract.

Two sets of OEM ink costs about $225 Canadian. A new printer WITH a full
set of cartridges costs much less.

When I say shop around for the best ink and price it's not to be taken
literally - meaning you don't have to check EVERY ink sold on planet
Earth. Simply find something you're happy with and is priced reasonably.
And right now I'm the happiest man this side of the universe. The ink
is excellent, colors are fine, and my printers perform magnificently.
And best of all, I like the price, something like 1/10th the cost of
original ink.

I couldn't give a **** where it comes from or who made it. We're talking
about an easily replaceable printer, not an investment that cost me my
life's savings. The printer costs almost as much as OEM ink. If the ink
is considered a routine consumer replacement item, then so is the
equally priced printer. It can be replaced just as easily if necessary.

NOT for these printers. They are both original issue.
The one that failed was on an i860, and it failed in under 2 months. It
was a bum Canon OEM part. A new printhead was bought and the SAME ink
was used on the new head with no problems. In fact I printed 10 80-page
booklets (8 months later), containing about 100 photos and text. Lots of
magnificent color at the HIGH quality setting before Christmas with no
problems at all (same ink, of course). So we know it wasn't the ink.
That printer, fully working, is now in long term storage as I have no
work for it. I should probably put another printer in storage, but what
the heck, they're not costing me anything to run. And the longer I keep
them in full operation, the more foolish you look with your fake claims
that the ink will ruin the printhead. Poppycock, I say and have proven.
Once again, your lies will not work with me. I have the facts, I have
the experience, I have the test results. You have absolutely no facts,
no experience and even less credibility. WHAT do you offer this
newsgroup besides your lies? Nothing. Indeed, you are a liar liar, and
most likely, with pants on fire.
