The best could be JetTec because the cartridge is a better design: the ink
reservoir enlarged and sponge side smaller. Takes some 11ml rather than the
Canon 6ml. The snap off clip snaps back on again - no more hassle or risk of
mess when refilling . Details at www.inkylink.co.uk

Why you worry for empty cartridges. Original ones could refilled 20 times or
more, it worth buy original for this purpose, because usually the
compatibles are refilled less times (at least those compatibles I have seen
and tested till now).

Why you advise two different things in two different threads. To me youYianni said:
suggest I advertise and people who look for empties should not have the best
compatible cartridges suggested. Now as above " why you worry for empties
??? Inconsistent Oh Yianni.
You're using these forums like your backyard. Tut Tut, naughty inconsistent
boy.

I've been very satisfied with the set of six empty new cartridges from:
inkjetgoodies.com.
I fill them with their supplied bulk ink and they work fine in my Canon
printer.

I don't know all makes of compatibles, but almost all I refilled (or my
customers) suffer from the type of sponge. They dry soon, not holding much
ink after a few refills. Foams are made of polyurethane, but there are many
types of polyurethane, and ink cartridges need specific restrictions in its
specifications.
I prefer to refill originals, because almost always its design is better
than most compatibles. Think this, big companies like epson, canon, hp, etc
invest high amounts on survey, so they produce the better products.
Compatibles are for immediate use and are suitable for these people don't
want to refill, like companies, individuals not technicaly inclined, or low
volume users.
BTW, I've done a little survey on foam types. Polyurethane type and
specifications could be sold (for big remanufacturers or suppliers for
refilling accessories).

It is probably an undeniable fact that inkjet manufacturers are interested
in selling ink cartridges off the back of suicidally competitive printer
prices. Equally most if not all of the major manufacturers have their
cartridges made in the cheapo Asian sweatshop economies: it possibly follows
that the quality of filling foam could be well below for instance European
standards.
This makes nonsense of the oft heard comments that Oem cartridges must be
better, or that these same OEM's are interested in making life easy for
refillers.
In complete contrast to this is the fact that the better compatible
manufacturers are expressly in the business of allowing refilling: JetTec
( not to be confused with a similar differently spelled rtec or something)
innovated the ILRS chip reset some 3 years ago which caused Epson to
redesign the Intelli chip of theirs.
I've refilled two sets of JetTec Canon S820 (BCI-6) compatible cartridges
some 19 times so far and the foam is stable.
The cartridge design with its larger ink reservoir and smaller foam section
and the snap off and snap on again red refiller clip is expressly there to
seal the vents during refilling and for stable storage. Poking needles in
foam isn't the issue at all with the JetTec design as these compartments are
separate in any case so the prime reason for deteriorating foam of being
broken up is avoided.
I think you might agree that compatible refill suppliers would seem to have
much more reason to guarantee quality as that leads to better ink sales.
Whereas OEM manufacturers appear to have the opposite - namely the sale of
expensive cartridges on the back of giveaway printers.
As Europe's largest compatible manufacturer JetTec (UK registered 200 years
ago
slight exageration there... have every reason to guarantee theentire quality process with refillers in mind.
I've imported (roughly $180 a time) several batches of Asian made cartridges
and basically they are - well , very basically if I were rude - they are
crap. Many of the last batch for the Canon drained straight through.
This should make most refiller pretty cautious as huge amounts (if not most)
original OEM stuff is now made in the emerging sweatshop economies.
But - brainwashing will continue no doubt and a Lincoln cobbled together in
Bangkok by two unemployed plumbers will replace the entire US economy.
If you believe the OEM sales pitch it follows that a Ford may only run on
Ford fuel, and a Rolls Royce supply of gas may be hard to find pretty much
anywhere.
I've yet to see any scientific proof (well documented and controlled) that
OEM cartridges are designed with the cost conscious in mind: being biased of
course it seems logical to believe in the reverse.

Compatible blanks are much easier to refill and no goofing around with
tape or rubber bands or making hole. Clips on the exit hole are very
nice. inkjetgoodies has the best blanks. try a set and you will see
why I would never refill original canon cartridges again.
R
ray
There is no difference. I like those blanks I been talking about. I
will never refill any other cartridge. As a matter of fact, I threw
out my original canon cartridges after receiving these blanks.
I couldnt be bothered with tape and messing with fill holes etc etc. I
had a mess one time on the exit hole. I had the cap on tight but it
leaked anyway.. after getting these blanks, wow what a diffrence. no
hassles.
