This is to all interested people that refill their own ink carts. I've been a member of the Forum for over 2 years and contributed what information and knowledge that I have. I have also learned an enormous amount from this web site. I have just found out about a change in bulk ink supplies that has really shocked me and I want to warn everyone that I may have mislead for a long time.
I ordered a new chip setter kit from Atlanticinkjet.com,(which is the same as "Re-inks/Easy Groups LLC"). I have used this store for a long time and have recommeded it to many of the people I have worked with and helped. However, I have always used "Image Specialist" ink in by pixma printers and only used bulk ink from Atlanticinkjet for older printers like the i550, etc. I never really had any problem, but of course one of my specialties is that I KNOW how to take good care of my printers.
I received my order today and was TOTALLY SHOCKED when I opened the box and discovered GENERIC "UNI-KIT" BLACK ink. I have been opposed to anyone that sells UNIVERSAL INK, as I believe there is no such thing. To me, all that UNI-KIT ink is cheap colored water ++ who knows what.
So I called them just now to find out if this was a mistake because what I ordered from their web site was a combo pak for Canon CLI-8 Black ink + the chip setter. I didn't need the ink because I buy mine in quart containers from PrecisionColors.com, but I thought I might just check their latest stuff. When I complainted that there must have been some mistake, I was infomed that Atlanticinkjet has changed and they now only supply UNI-KIT universal ink for every printer order. I was more than shocked, I was humiliated, for I have a link in my profil that recomments atlanticinkjet.com. Or at least I used to, not anymore.
So I want to appogize to everyone that may have used my profile infomation as a guide on where to buy ink. I've learned another hard lesson today. By the way, I'm keepting the chip resetter and they will credit me a refund for the cost of their ink. They don't even want it back.
