Atlantic for Refill; How about Cartridges?

Seems to me that many people here like Atlanticinkjet.com for refills.
From what I gather Alotofthings.com uses the same/similiar ink in their
bulk packages. Do Atlanticinkjet and/or Alotofthings' generics use that
same quality ink? Probably not, correct? Then, my question is for those
who of us who are too clumsy to refill, who sells less expensive
cartridges that are comparable to OEM's? Some generics Canons are
selling for $1 to $2 each. These inks are garbage right?

I've been using generic inks in my Epson 740 printer for the past couple of
years, and they work as well as the original Epson inks at a fraction of the
cost. I buy over the net from D&H Graphic Supply.

I have corresponded with the owner of www.alotofthings.com on numerous
occasions and he has confirmed to me that they use Formulabs ink for both
refill and bulk as well as the cartridges. If you are in the US his prices
are excellent. If you are in Canada, then Atlanticinkjet sells the same ink,
but at a higher price. Refilling is a very easy process on the Canon BCI-3
and BCI-6 tanks. I've created a short PDF file that makes the process very
simple. Most instructions are needlessly complex and have you take
unnecessary steps. I'll be glad to send you the file. If you (or anyone
else) want a copy please send me a private email with your request.

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use atlanticinkjet compatibles. They do NOT
forulalabs ink in them. They do not contain the same ink as the BULK
refill. Only alotofthings.com uses formula labs in their compatible
cartridges BUT not all models. You may want to email and ask if your
model uses the formulalabs ink in the generic cartridges.

I've used ink from InkSell.com for a while now, and have never had
trouble with their compatible inks. I have an Epson and my parents,
who I told about InkSell and are now using ink from them, have an HP,
and haven't had problems, either. I figure as long as it works, I'm
sold!

their generics:

ISO 9001 Certified

Formulabs USA Ink

The problem is not whether they use use Formulabs inks.
The problem is whether they have universalized theinks.
That is using the same formula in everything they make.
I've caught 5 compatible manufacturers who claim to
use formulabs inks universalizing the inks.

How funny - I've used both Aink and InkSell.com. Talk about opposite
ends of the spectrum. Well, have not had luck with Aink - stay away
from them!!! The carts I got were completely dried up - I emailed to
get a replacement and they never came. SO FRUSTRATING!!

On the other hand, I tried InkSell.com shortly after my experience
with Aink and have met with great success - customer service is very
friendly and quality is comparable....

Comparable to Name Brands, that is.
