I've seen the light - Cheap cartridges

As interesting as this story is and as much as it fuels the ongoing fire/war/debate between the OEM'ers and the 3rdpary-ers regarding alternative cartridges or alternative ink other than OEM, the point is not that you tried "cheap cartridges" and now you have trouble. The point
is that you tried "there" specific "cheap" cartridges and you had trouble.

There is nothing wrong with OEM cartridges, other than the super excorbitant cost that has surpassed being obscene.

At the same time I believe there are good, no, make that Great 3rd party inks out there but they are getting collectivelly a bad rap because they are not overpriced OEM.

I'd love to know and others too I am sure :

Which store peddled you this nightmare

What cartridges ([part number, manufacturer, country of origin etc etc (a picture is worth a thousand words ! -
How much you paid and what OEM carts cost where you are
