iBook & printers

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Okay, time for the other side of the story.

I bought a six-pack of Ink-4-Art cartridges for my Epson SP820 and found 
them to not work very well. I literally spent more time running the 
cleaning routines than I actually did printing. In that respect they 
were a LOT more expensive to use than the Epsons.

When I finally finished the six-pack I went back to Epson cartridges. I 
almost never run the cleaning routine now. The printer is almost 
pleasant to use again.

I guess it's true what they say: YMMV.

I agree about 3rd party cartridges.  I have been using cartridges sold
by D&H Graphics made in China for my Epson 740i for about 3 years now.
I get more printed pages with their cartridges, color and B&W than I
get from Epson cartridges at a fraction of the price.  The B&W
cartridges cost around 4.00 apiece, and the color 6.00.  4.95 shipping
no matter how many you buy.  In all of this time only one has been bad.
   I think that the bad rap that third party cartridges get is propaganda
generated by the printer manufacturer.
