Hopefully worth recommending

I ordered some re-manufactured ink this week for my Pixma MG4250 from https://www.inkfactory.com/, which arrived yesterday. When I got home last night I tried them, and there’s no yellow working, so rather late last night, I emailed (politely – unusual for me) to ask for advice in getting it working, and not really expecting much.

Nevertheless, a reply arrived today, telling me they will send a replacement, I don’t need to return the faulty one, and going on to offer advice and several links to further assistance in case I can get it working as intended.

Assuming the replacement arrives and works, I call that damned good CS, and given that they were the cheapest I found, exceptional. I’ll wait and see, but I can’t fault their enthusiasm for good customer service.

Always good to hear of good CS Dan. Their prices are not as good as ebuyer for genuine XL cart’s for my TS 6150, though. I don’t buy compatibles, as I print photos and colour pages and found that the gen inks are best for that.

ebuyer are about 50% dearer for mine, and even with the paper they throw in (only 50 sheets) is still not great value. That said, I rarely need spot on colour reproduction for printing, so not as much as a problem for me to get re-manufactured (the carts are genuine Canon – and in fact they insist on only genuine for recycling) so after-market inks are usually fine for me.

For the last 5 to 8 years I have used “Mywalking” (ebay moniker) for my HP inks. I assume he does Canon. ONLY genuine ones, often very out of date (but very cheap) and an instant replacement if not perfect. I used to use the HP 3 colour ones (78?) and the yellows were especially dodgy. He did a simple test before despatch as an extra check. The genuine HP was listed at up to £60 for the high capacity types. I have moved on to a much newer HP8500A from amenity site, but he still supplies my needs. NO failures with these laser types. His email is “pandaluby.wanadoo.co.uk”.First name Gareth.
