I apologize to everyone if my e-mail is received as inflammatory. This
is his second posting about this and I find it doubtful that a "Pro
Lab" would be buying inks on eBay. I may be wrong, but it defies
imagination that a legitimate inkjet supplier would sell a technically
difficult product on eBay to unsuspecting masses unaware of its
history of problems including frequent clogging, greenies, and the
density shift syndromes. A recent article about eBay warned that eBay
protects sellers and not buyers, because eBay profits rest on the
success of their sellers. Sellers who get bad reputation reports use
cloak identities, and "This atmosphere of anonymity is the perfect
cloak for the seller, who now can assume multiple false identities
with relative impunity, take the buyer's money, and fail to send the
promised items, or falsely characterize items, or market defective or
counterfeit goods." Whoever is selling these inks on eBay probably
picked then up from the manufacturer at bargain basement prices.
Obsolescence at any price may be dangerous to the health of your
printer. You get what you pay for. Buyer beware.
