Consumer Reports picks Dataproducts as the best Ink Refill System!!!
Consumer Reports picks Dataproducts as the best Ink Refill System!!!
FACT: ConsumerReports.org has several articles that talk negative about after market ink refills and after market ink catridges. However, they recommend Dataproducts for the best Ink Refill Systems. Consumer Reports stated, "the Dataproducts (Automatic Ink Refill System)..........represent significant savings over the HP. Its photo quality, judged good, matched the OEM HP black 96/tri-color 97 combination." However, this product is only sold for HP and Lexmark. Consumer Report is only talking about the Dataproducts automatic ink refill system, and not their regular ink refills or their after-market cartridges. (If you are interested in the detailed report, ConsumerReports.org charges $5.99 for a 1 month subscribition. They need to charge because the magazine is not supported by advertisers.) WHY AFTER-MARKET INK COMPANIES DON'T WANT YOU TO READ THIS (FACT): After market ink companies in general make their most money off after market cartriges. Yes, they make money off ink refill systems, but not as much. Consumer Reports actually stated, "Off-brand cartridges often cost much less than brand-name cartridges. Based on our tests, you'll probably find they're saving you little or no money when you calculate per-photo costs." I personally remember my OEM cartridge lasted longer then my after market cartridge. WHY PEOPLE ON THE BULLETIN BOARDS HATE ME (THEORY): I have come to believe that this bulletin board is run by people that have a financial interest in either the 'printer companies that charge a lot for OEM ink' or the 'after-market ink companies'. Therefore, you will find a lot of post that hate me in general, because I'm endorsing an item that will cause both companies to lose money. This thread will not be moderated, and you will see people bashing me on the their own post. However, can they back their bashing Opinions with Facts? LINK THAT I WOULD NOT TRUST BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY MIGHT HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THIS TOPIC. http://www.neilslade.com/papers/inkjetstuff.html http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/ http://www.trustedreviews.com/printe...1/The-Inkjet-I... http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,11...1/article.html OPINION: You can save a lot of money on ink, and have good quality prints. However the catch is you have to refill it yourself, and you need a Lexmark or HP printer. If you choose to not refill it yourself, you can go with the Kodak 5100, 5300, or 5500 printer. (Read my article called, " Why I endorsed the Kodak 5100, 5300, & 5500 printer that everybody hates!!!" http://groups.google.com/group/comp....25cd92272ded14) I hope to follow up this article with some advice for Canon and Epson refillers. If you are interested in buying the recommended product, do a search with keyword: buy Dataproducts Automatic Ink Refill System. |

This thread will not be moderated, and you will see people bashing me on the their own post. However, can they back their bashing Opinions with Facts? Stan, your "theory" has a lot of holes in it. To wit: A. This is *not* a bulletin board. It is an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup. It isn't "run" by anybody. Anybody can come here and post any drivel they want to, and it will appear. That is not to say that people here will choose to read it, and if they do, that they won't question it, just as you have been doing with others' posts. B. I can only speak for myself, but I don't "hate" you. I don't hate anybody. I do believe you are perhaps the second-most misguided poster here, but that's *your* problem, not mine. That is my opinion, based on what you have revealed about your thought processes in your many posts the last few days. I don't think anybody here "hates" you except for maybe Frank, and that's only because he thinks you and Measekite are the same person. C. I seriously doubt that any of your little threads will cost anybody any significant money, or gain any for anybody. None of us here has that kind of influence. You need to get over yourself. TJ Nah TJ, I don't "hate" anybody either. What I "hate" is the deceiving crap stan/mesaher****head/joe has posted and keeps on posting. Unsubstantiated bs all from a person with absolutely no experience at all using after market inks. We know just how psychotic this person can become because we've all witnessed just how demented he became in the past. He offers nothing to this ng and has only been able to capture attention and bandwidth. Love & peace! :-) Frank |

TJ,
I do want to continue my research, but I'm stuck on the Canon and Epson printers. Which refill ink brand (not after market cartridge) would you recommend for the Canon printer? I have a Canon so I want it for personal use. However, I also want the name of one for the Epson printer. That is for my research. Stan ps. TJ, i like your advice. I take it as constructive criticism. thanks... |

One big clue he inadvertently dropped today is that he knows I use
hobbicolors ink...which he (under the guise of stan) never asked me which ink I use and I never told him. He slipped up! Cats out of the bag! Gottcha! Frank, I'm sorry that you are upset. However, to answer your question... this is how I found out......On Sun, Aug 27 2006 7:37 you posted this info on the bulletin board. (This is only one of your many posting you did to promote hobbicolors. BTW - I might use Hobbicolors for my Canon refill, I'm just still doing the research.) THIS IS WHAT YOU WROTE......... You need to direct all of your purchasing questions to: Hobbicolors: 1-408-926-6008 or email them at: HERE IS THE LINK......... http://groups.google.com/group/comp....a351e8a351aa05 PS. You might want to consider taking some anger management classes. |
