Digital BW, The Print

Hi David:

 

Simply because the inks are manufactured elsewhere does not necessarily mean
that Jon is not "manufacturing" his own inks.  The inks might be
manufactured to his specifications in China, and then diluted in the USA; or
the dilutions might also be done in China to Jon's specifications using
quality controls that are developed by Jon. Just as long Jon's inks are
consistent from batch to batch does it matter where the inks are indeed
made?  

 

To my mind the only important thing is that Jon takes the ultimate
responsibility for his products which have apparently stood the test of
time.  

 

I might add that with reference to manufacturing,  to my mind the same
situation obtains for the new STS inks.

 

Also, can we agree that many things are made in China to specifications that
are delineated in the USA-including ( perhaps ) ink carts and thousands of
other products including the Apple Computers that many of us use in our
digital photographic efforts!  Nothing wrong with ink carts from China made
to Jon's specs.

 

Have a great holiday David.

 

Elliot

Here's a link to Cone's ink manufacturer in Taiwan. Note that InkjetMall
(lower left corner) is referred to as the U.S. Agent; I take this to mean he
has the exclusive right to distribute these inks in the U.S.

 

 

I thought Cone has always claimed to make his own inks.

Didn't he also travel to China to have cartridges designed for the Epson
3880, specifically to his specifications?

 

Just quoting.
