Re: MIS Inks QC?

2005-02-18 by Bob Michaels

MIS is a small company making some innovative ink jet products. Which
is a nice way of saying their QC is certainly not what you see from a
Oriental mega-manufacturer.

In return you get some great products unmatched by the printer
manufacturers and some very friendly helpful people to talk to when
you have problems. They probably will not call you back first thing in
the morning. but you can call them back.

I use only their inks and carts and I'm far from famous or well known.
But since I am a regular customer they recognize me and just tell me
to throw the defective product away and they ship a replacement
immediately. I think their customer service is absolutely first class.
You're not just one of ten million customers like you are to Epson.

But, their website has the answers to 99% of the questions one could
ask. If you're asking the other 1%, they'll spend as much time as it
takes to solve your problem. But if you're taking up the time of one
of the three employees with a problem you could have easily solved by
just checking their website, they may just point you there so they can
go back to work.
