I have the HobbiColors 2 oz bottle in front of me and it says in largish
black letters "This is a pigmented Black Ink. Do not use in ink
cartridges that use dye based ink."

it does not tell you the brand. i spoke to hobbicollers last week.
they told me they do not want to disclose what they are selling becuase
they are afrain that the type of people who post in this ng will go to
their supplier and they will be out of business. i do know that the
number of people who would do that are very small since they would have
to buy gallons and they are too cheap to do that.

Then below it says "... Use high quality black pigment for durable
waterproof and fade resistant printing. Formulated to match Canon OEM
specification.

that is a meaningless statement just like the word compatible.

Available in 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz and larger sizes."

and besides they are



I'm buying ink that works.

pcworld said that most the the people who buy generic ink are not
capable of even judging what is good quality. they said other than the
clogging and longevity issue the actual appearance is not as good as oem ink

That's no different than buying Canon ink - Ink that works . .

much different

.



Seems you're a bit paranoid. I've noticed none of the regulars here
having lost their mind. Sure, newbies will make mistakes. We were all
there once. I'm not a newbie.



Cruel to be kind? You do have a sadist streak in you, don't you?



About a $1,000 less last year.

that is more lies. i am an average user and probably buy (when i do not
print a lot ) about 3 sets of color a year and that is about $75.00 for
Canon. I change my HP carts about once a year. no problems. you say
you are not a heavy user and claim to spend $1,000 a year. even a
newbie has brains not to believe that. you are a very heavy user.

Nothing to sneeze at, is it. Think what you could buy with that money.

i might be able to go to dinner a few times

But that was last year. My printing frequency has been drastically
altered since early last December.



Oh,

snipped to end for shortness

Only someone like you would "enjoy" hearing about other people's
problems.

they have been advised and they made their choice

And did you call Canon? I'd love to be there when they don't tell you
who makes it for them.... "Sorry, we don't disclose who makes it because
we're afraid we'll be put out of business."

That piece of shit moron still doesn't get it does he? For the life of
me I still can't figure out how that idiot even figured out how to turn
on a computer.
I guess even a blind squirrel sometimes finds an acorn.

P.S. I spoke to Canon and they refused to disclose who manufacturers
their ink, so I refuse to ever use it again. I now use only Hobbicolor
in my Canons. No clogs and no fading with perfect colors.

reply if you want and be responsible for many average users clogging
their printheads with the generic ink you recommend that is not labeled
and you do not know what you are getting.

Yes, Generic vs Formulated. There is a difference.
If one does their research, they will find an ink supplier that they do
know what they are getting, either in the manufacturer of the ink, or a
supplier that has a good enough reputation to suit the person's
conscience.

I don't you know what you mean by labeled, but my Hobbicolors ink
bottles have a label on them that describe the contents more than the
OEM packaging does.

lately therer are so many
posters with clogged printheads and other ink related problems. i enjoy
hearing about them because i told them in advance. now many will start
using factory ink. and i know that factory ink costs too much.

I'd bet a good part are due to mis-using aftermarket inks, using crappy
or incorrect ink (rather than premium formulated aftermarket ink), or
problems that would have happened with OEM ink anyway.

i spoke to hobbycolors. they were nice. they told me they do not label
any of their ink with the brand name that is either in the cart or
bottles. so how can you make that statement when the relabeler claims
that what you are saying is incorrect.

sure blame the user
