Peach Snap & Print Cartridge systems any good?

[Warmbells]

Hi,

Anyone had any experience with Peach Snap & Print Cartridge systems?
They are an alternative to remanufactured or refilled cartridges.

They come in 2 parts - the "printhead" and the "refill" - the printhead
fits into the printer, and the refill (which contains the ink) snaps
into the printhead. Once the cartridge is empty, you simply take out the
refill (leaving the printhead in place), and snap in another refill. You
can replace the refill an average of 25 times before you have to replace
the printhead.

Just wondered if they were worthwhile as the Black starter kit
(printhead and 3 refills) costs £29.99 and the twin pack refill costs £12.99

Thanks

Gerald

Thanks for the link, interesting reading but I was wondering if anyone
had actually used them and if so what they thought of them.

Probably it was only intended for Lexmark (Dell) and HP family to knock
the price down a little, and printers where the head comes with the
cartridge so that you only paid for the ink.

That is my impression. But what about the quality of the head, and are
recent printers supported? And if so what are the implicatinos of the
company going out of business because of patent infrignement lawsuits.

Are the carts they offer easily refillable?

FWIW, I seen such a system a few years ago for HP 26 carts, and my first
inkjet (a Citizen Projet II), came (when I got it second hand anyhow), a
separate ink tank and head which AFACT, were original. The head bing
much like the HP 26, and I could use a slightly modified HP26 cart in
that printer (which is what I did).

I have never used them so I can't say how good they are, I have only
heard of them.

My feelings are that if a brand of ink has given excellent service
without any problems... why change?

Because you do not really know the brand. The relabeler puts the same
label on stuff he got from a different source. You never know what you
are getting.

Brand...what are you talking about...brand...?

The relabeler puts the same label on stuff he got from a different source.

There is no such thing as a "relabeler"...they just don't exist. Try
looking them up! You'll never find anybody or business listed as an
after market ink relabeler. There is no such thing, period, You made
that up, they don't exist.
Next you incorrectly assume that after market ink sellers don't care
about their customers...the ones who regularly buy ink from them. Well
you're wrong, they do care and if they change their suppliers they will
inform their buying customers.
Anyway, actual ink manufacturers don't come and go like sidewalk vendors
like you want us to believe.
Sorry, but you are wrong.

You never know what you are getting.

Oh, this is a good one. Guess what, no one knows what they are getting
even with oem. They have to TRUST the seller.
You haven't learned ANYTHING...NOTHING AT ALL...in all these years about
ink, printers or paper have you?

Posted the info in case anyone didn't know what it was, I have heard of
it but never used it, so can't comment about it.

You only need to take a look at the printers being used in the NG and
many aren't mentioned in the link, particularly Epson.

The charity I'm involved with have a Canon MP160, Peach have a unit for
them. The original cartridges (with printhead) are around £21 for Colour
and £15 for Black. They are looking to save where they can, they are an
animal rescue charity and vets fees run at £3000 a week so any saving
made helps a lot

Frankie,

Relabeler is a term. Please type it in google. I will give you a
perfect example. It's like when Hobbicolors buys their ink from a
manufacturer. Then they put Hobbicolors brand on it. That makes
Hobbicolors a relabelers. Now if hobbicolors wasn't a relabeler,
then Hobbicolors would manufacturer their own ink.

sorry measekite that my lover is so ignorant.....

I noticed the same thing. But if you take a good look at this Peach
site, you'll find a different brand of 2-part cartridges marketed by the
parent company under a different brand name: Inkrite.

http://www.medea.co.uk/inkrite/prod_info/print_n_save.htm

And there's yet another line of inks, too.

I have no idea why they're using two different brand names, with one
being a reduced range of products. Perhaps it has something to do with
diverse marketing channels. This is in the UK -- I'd sure like to see
this over here in the US.

The Peach web copy says that their products consist of a two-part
cartridge; one with the print head, the other, a tank with the ink. The
design is supposedly unique, and not simple.

The copy claims the the print head is an authentic new part direct from
the OEM manufacturer. This is almost impossible to believe. But that is
what they say. I don't get it.

Not really unique, and rather simple. Canon kinda does the same thing.
Some lesser known brand of printers use a similar system.

It is likely that the OEM has made their money on that cart line, so are
releasing the patent on that design.
