Digital BW, The Print

I have not been on this list for more than two + years, but I have never
seen hard data where someone has gone in and inspected, measured, or done
any qualitative analysis of ANY ink here let alone third party ink. All
other observations are merely supposition; good or bad. I placed limited
blame on the operator, but rather pointed out that there are many factors
that could and do contribute to workflow problems that do include clogs.

 

It is more than semantics. I don't need to spend a ton of time on this
looking up erratic ink quality. There have been times when carts have gotten
mis labeled for sure but is that an ink quality issue? Or a distribution
problem? Or is that the same thing? 

 

I think every one should seriously consider their workflow when it comes to
choosing a printer and ink combination. This industry is really still in its
infancy and we are all going to change a lot of diapers.

Eric, this Forum contains excellent hard data...it's right here if you
really want it. 

Yes, 3rd party inks work beautifully for some, terribly for others..as
you yourself have just admitted (blaming the operator).

Happily for you, you never have clog problems with your third party
inks, and happily for me I've only had to do a cleaning routine twice
in 5 years with my OEM 2200 (whereas its MIS-using twin died). 

When I replace my 2200 I'll skip 2400 (less reliable) and go to its
successor or to 3800, or to the next generation of Canon, and I'll use
OEM.... 

...because my time's worth a lot more than ink savings.

Someone else's mileage may vary YMMV
