- Canon CLI-8 ink cartridges from eBay - do they work?
- Posted by HSJR on February 5th, 2008
Only the first generic that I purchased many years ago was inferior.
Every cartridge and refill ink purchase I have made since has been
excellent with very good color retention. Your broad criticism of
generics has no merit at all. The competitive market has fairly well
cleaned out the junk offerings. I have a shelf full of generic
cartridges and refill ink that has proved to be at least equal to Canon
and Epson. My only disappointment has been with Canon's CLI cartridges
that turn off the monitoring system once the printing count is exceeded.
A Canon chip resetter has been developed, but its cost is still at
about $2000.00. Recent lawsuit won by Epson may make purchase of
generic cartridges illegal though. Scratch one up for corporate greed.

For what it's worth at least one manufacturer has developed a two part Epson
compatible cartridge. This is described as a Patent Free cartridge. The
manufacturer does not sell direct to the public but they are a major player in
the compatible ink marketplace and will soon be distributing these cartridges
through their dealers. If I can find out more I will advise here but meanwhile
look out for a two part compatible Epson cartridge. I cannot vouch for the
quality yet but the manufacturer was one of those that had a very high
reputation before Epson won the law suit. I have yet to find out whether this
overcomes the "recoding" of firmware in Epson printers that has been an issue
in recent months.

two-part cartridge replacement for the HP #57 cart. It looked like an
interesting idea. One part contained the print head and associated
circuits, and the other was a snap-in ink tank that was refillable,
IIRC. Unfortunately, I doubt that it's for sale in the US. I'll have to
hunt that up again...

it is as I described. The product is from Switzerland, but the
distributor is in the UK. They ship to EU countries, but say nothing
about the US. They do say the print head is a "new manufacturer's print
head," so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there is some agreement with
HP not to market outside the EU. It's too bad. It could catch on here, I
think.

The four pack ink cartridge is definitely cheaper than purchasing eac
of the ink cartridges separately. They are genuine Canon cartridges, s
you don't have to worry about whether or not they will work with you
printer and the quality is as expected.The PRODUCT colors provide tru
colors for all my photos.
