Solve : Are using Cloned ink cartridges worthwhile?? |
|
Answer» I have purchaesd ink cartidges for my HP 6210 Printer refilled at Walgreens and Office Depot, and have experienced problems. The cost is considerably less than HP's, but wow; my troubles started with the blue being green, red being pink, etc. Might have to go back to higher priced factory HP's. What do you say? There's a reason clone cartridges void your warranty. If you're having trouble with them, I'd stop using them immediately and go back to original cartridges.There's a reason clone cartridges void your warranty.

I just got rid of my Canon BJC 3000 after five years of use when the print head finally gave out - used the same set of cartridges with $30 worth of injectable refills over that period with no problems - just purchased an HP D4100 and bought an ink refill kit from www.ink-refills-ink.com for $63 which I expect will ALSO last the life of the printer.I used to use refurbished cartridges with my old Epson without any ill effect, but it seems that with newer printers, it may be causing some problems, mostly due to their sensors.

While you might be having good luck with them, I've seen them ruin many a printer with bad cartridges and poor quality ink. I wouldn't advise anyone use them unless they're really willing to risk it. If they ruin your printer, the clone company won't compensate you and the printer company won't help you either. SORRY, but not everyone is as fortunate as you.Read the post buddy - I am not SUPPORTING using cloned cartridges - I am recommending using INJECTABLE INK REFILLS for the original cartridge, a different animal altogether - while I do not have a track record for my new printer yet, I have refilled the black cartridge [yesterday] and the print quality is perfect so far! The company selling the refill ink guarantees that it is HP quality and I do not think they would be in business long if their PRODUCT was no good. As to the warranty, it's a $49.95 printer in my case and if it pooches out, so what! A set of HP refills costs more than the printer and looks to last, the black anyway, about a month in normal home use - for the cost of 2 black cartridges I can refill the original approx 50 times! I also know how to clean the print head built into the cartridge which should extend it's life even further.Yay for you.But back to the original qustion about cartridges..... I personally would never RECOMMEND it or do it again. I ruined two different printers in the past "saving a few bucks" and learned my lesson. I tend to remember the ones that cost me money. GX1Yay for you. God, I just love a good intellectual discussion! Why don't you try Neh Neh Neh, Neh Neh. Quote from: ianbell on December 01, 2007, 01:22:50 PM Yay for you. Since you decided to first this conversation is over. Topic Closed. Emory if you need this re-opened let us know... |
