Some years ago, I had a color ink-jet printer from Epson. When it ran dry, I refilled the ink reservoirs from one of the cheapie refill suppliers. The "ink" clogged up the ink-jets, and since they were inaccessible, I had to throw the printer away. It was only a few months old.
But, but, but... cheap replacement manufacturers are pure of heart and only want the best for us!!!
There are probably two morals to this story: 1. Use the manufacturer's replacement supplies. 2. Consider using HP printers. Both their ink-jets and their lasers replace all the major parts when replacing the supplies. It's more expensive, but it['s as near fool-proof as I can think of. (I have no financial interest in HP.)
Gasp!! The HP would get more profit!!! -- Seek truth from facts.
