I've never had satisfactory performance from cheapo cartridges,
I do, with the last of the Canon inkjets that doesn't have chipped carts.
I do too. The cheapos that I use have four times the capacity of the
genuines. The print quality and colours are as good also. I doubt that the
ink is quite as 'stable' on photo paper and exposed to sunlight,
Yeah, I don't do photos even tho the printer can do them.
OTOH there is no reason why they cant use the same ink Canon does.
but for 'regular' paper printing, it's just fine long term. I have printed
many photos using these inks in situations where they are not exposed to
sunlight all the time, and they have been perfectly ok at the time of
printing, and have remained so. I have been using these cartridges for
probably three years now, and this Magenta one is the very first that I
have had a problem with.
And I can't even have that problem given mine arent even chipped.
Even that is a random chance electronic problem, rather than mechanical or
ink related.
Yeah, and I bet that's been seen with genuine HP carts too.
I reported the symptoms here merely for interest and to help others who
may find themselves in this situation, as of course, the chip on a genuine
HP cartridge could just as easily fail in exactly the same way ...
Yeah, I wish more would do that and use the actual error message
you got too so that anyone can find what you reported when they
do a google when they get that message and try the obvious
to see if it's the problem they have got too.
