He really is an idiot. What the hell was he trying to say?!?!? I spend
$1.59 per cartridges verses $11+ per cartridge for OEM ink. Somehow he
thinks I did not save anything? Is that fuzzy math he is using? My
prints don't fade, the print head doesn't clog and the print quality is
excellent so where am I getting less than if I used grossly over priced
OEM ink? He is a waste of human flesh and proves it on a daily basis by
his contributions to this newsgroup.

Look...this brain dead moron has one small printer, and an old Nikon
camera. He thinks he is an expert on paper, printers, ink and cameras.
I've seen his pics...they are horrible...he is not even a good
"snapper'...he must be blind...cause only a blind person could ever take
any pics as bad as his.
He is an idiot!

You don't know what you are talking about! I have used after-market
ink for years for professional photography use and there is NO
DIFFERENCE in the prints. I understand when Canon, Epson and other
printer makers sell low end printers really cheap, even giving them
away with cameras, expecting you to buy their expensive ink. When I
pay $500 for a printer I expect to get ink at a reasonable price.
After-market inks produce quality results, so you need to do a bit of
research before spouting off. "You saved nothing. You may have spent
less." Are you related to the president?

It takes one to know one and you know them all. If you spend $5.00 for
3 apples or instead you spend $2.00 for 4 oranges do you think you saved
money? Only an idiot would think so. Now if you spend $1.59 for
generic ink instead of spending $11.00 for Canon ink do you think you
saved money. You do the math. You cannot subtract numbers unless they
are like for like. Most people learned that in the 3rd grade.

Only if you print so very often.

I'm an engineer with a minor in chemistry. I've run a qualitative analysis
of the aftermarket inks I've used as well as on the OEM equilivant.

Not unlike RX you can by the name brand or you can by generics. For the
most part there is scant difference in the chemistry and likely less in the
use/application

My wife is into scapbooking and she has never complained about fading or
off color prints for the past several years we have used after market
ink. I have never experienced any problems either. Why on Earth would
I pay over $50 more for EVERY SET of cartridges that goes into our
printers?

They are comparing dollars for dollars, so the dollar savings in your
example is $9.41 more remaining in their pockets than in Canon's pocket.
Whether the generic ink quality is equal is the debate. Many here say the
quality of the generic inks has risen to the point that from their
perspective, there is no noticeable difference. As such, the price point of
the product now becomes the only difference to these buyers.



When is the last time you tried out a generic ink? Your continual concern
for others in this matter suggests you may have had a very bad past
experience using generic inks. Another possibility is you are on the
payroll of one of the printer manufacturers.

He just provided proof that he is an idiot. First, he says I am buying
generic ink. This is wrong as I buy COMPATIBLE ink and there is a big
difference between the two. Second, his analogy is flawed. A proper
analogy is that I am buying less expensive unbranded oranges instead of
the more expensive ones with Sunkist stamped on them. For all practical
purposes they are both oranges and, to me, they taste the same. I like
that he buys OEM ink because it means I can continue to buy cheap
printers in the future. Kill file this waste of bandwidth and your
experience here will be much better.
