Well, Inksmile screwed me again

[ScottFern]

Now this all dates back to June 2006 when I purchased 2 new black HP 56A remanufactured ink cartridges because I was slow. They seemed to have a great deal at the time and when I went to use them the first time the print quality was terrible.

I call and complain and they agree to send me 2 new HP 56A replacements (their brand) and in the mean time I bought genuine HP 56A & 57 combo pack. Well last night the ink finally ran out and I went to use my new Inksmile cartridge and the same BS now again.


I have no idea if they would even replace these 2 junked cartridges or what? But this is just frustrating to all hell.

Should I call back although its been over 7 months? Any other places that sell HP ink that don't screw you like this?

I would buy from Swiftink.com or possibly Myinks.com or 123inkjets.com
I have used them all for my Lexmark and they worked fine. In some cases
it is best to spend 2-3 extra for a Genuine Cartridge ... some printers just
will not work properly if the Printhead on the Cartridge is too Old
Also with refurbed or remans you do not know where they got the core
from or if the Printhead is replaced. And it could also be a bad choice
or formulation of ink they use.

Out of the 3 who is the best? All seem pretty decent. Hard to tell who has the best quality cartridges.

Just got back from Costco. 3 pack of 56A black ink $49.72 plus tax!

Came out to 17.98 per cartridge which is like $1.50 more than these remanufactured sites! COSTCO FTW!!

im still absolutely appalled by ink prices. this stuff is not much more then water, and the physical cartridge itself costs far more then the ink that fills it.

i hear kodak is going to start making printers that have 1/2 price ink compared to the other guys. that should help.
