Re: [Digital BW] Who Does Make MIS inks

2004-07-18 by Steve Kale

Hmmmm....what do have against Chinese production?  Better get used to Made
in China.  It is the natural place for a large portion of the world¹s
manufacturing to shift to.  Where the goods are made or assembled is not an
absolute indication of their quality.  Is Taiwan ok but China not? Err,
anything by Apple. I do not know where MIS inks are manufactured and only
hope that they are made in the cheapest possible place but what I do care
about is MIS¹ reputation in the industry and their ability to provide
quality product.  On this count they seem to do ok.

John I think you have a valid question when you ask if there is any
independent testing of the longevity of MIS inks.  But that doesn¹t demand
that there be any.  Many are happy to go with them because of MIS¹
reputation and the involvement of key people such as Paul.  If you are not
then stick with the Epson inks or whatever.  Made in Japan may sound better
(it wasn¹t the case a number of years back).

<<I have read in the past that the MIS inks were all made in China
and thus their significantly cheaper price in the past. If this is still
true that would be enough to scare me away. The one great thing
about Epson ( and Cone I'm not sure about) is that they have
great consistency in production, that you pay for of course.>>
