is non-oem ink really bad to use?

[jschmidt]

How many of you here use oem ink only? have you all ever had issues with non-oem ink that you purchased off ebay?

For most of us here, OEM inks can only be obtained in very expensive containers, called "carts". Buying ink in this quality and container costs upwards of $5000/gallon.

That said, I have had problems using OEM ink. And I have had problems refilling with non-oem inks, until I discovered reliable suppliers.

It happens that the company whose inks I use has been selling on their ebay store. That said, I would never buy refill ink blindly, based on price or an enticing ad. Only buy non-oem inks that have been recommended by people whose advice you trust. This Forum has more than ten years of accumulated experience with non-oem inks.
