Most of whatever you state is supprisingly appropriate and that makes me wonder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light before. This particular article really did switch the light on for me as far as this specific topic goes. But there is just one factor I am not necessarily too comfy with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the main idea of your issue, allow me observe what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Very well done.

what about for laser printers?

@ JP Loh
unbranded inks damage printers because they don’t go the same Quality assurance tests as opposed to the branded ones. they are more susceptible to leakage, and for some reason, they get used up faster?

I personally use an epson which i installed CIS to..after a few months, the quality of the print out was significantly affected. puro lines na lahat ng pnprint ko,even just plain text… pero mura e, so bahala na hahahaha you get what you pay for.

if you want quality, branded pdin tlga… if you’re after economy, go for refills. if you’re after both? gotta go for branded… with refills, sobrang no quality e..

Just like mobile phones, printers too have become ‘disposable’ goods. Again just like SIM cards, it’s often times cheaper just to get a new one instead of having the printer fixed when it gets broken.

I only use original inks when printing graphics heavy stuff. For documents, unbranded inks will do.

How can ink damage the printer? The only difference I saw from the original ink cartridges is that the blank inks are err.. blacker.

But who cares?! As long as the text is readable, most people won’t mind or notice. Because I use cheapo paper, the grade A ink’s full potential won’t be used anyway.
