Digital BW, The Print

I also recently ordered and got replacement cartridges and what I 
got are VERY different. (Read cheaper made junk.) They also don't 
work the same in my 2200. No positive click into position which 
means the chip contacts don't mate properly, because the spring clip 
is less stiff, which means the printer don't recognize the 
cartridge. The second time this happened to me the replacement 
cartridge came with a little orange wedge holding the spring clip 
open. No help there. When I installed the cartridge it still refused 
to be recognized, until I replaced the chip - yes replaced - the 
chip with one the tech guy at MIS sent me.

They also seem to drain ink a lot faster than they should. I mean I 
just printed three black only 13 x 19's moderately weighted toward 
the darker values and already the ink monitor software is showing me 
a drop of a quarter inch in ink level!

Something is rotten here. I smell a rip-off at MIS.
