The Truth About Discount Ink Cartridges - Comments Page 7

I am using non-OEM toners on my Ricoh MP 5000 copier. My copier service tech tells me that I have to change the developers and " Also you will need to buy oem toner and remove the generic toners you have in the machine". I just bought a lot of toners and don't want to waste them.

Is this really necessary or should I call BS on the service company?

I have used LD Products re-manufactured ink for 6 years. When my Canon printer quit working (not ink related) I had extra cartridges for it. LD replaced my extras with cartridges for my new printer. I also order ink for my neighbors and toners for our church. Never, ever had any problems with LD Products inks or toners.

I looked up the the LD 60XL black and color on Amazon. The poor reviews of running out of ink and not printing more than 100 pages turned me off to the product. Plus they add shipping to the price of the cartridge. Not worth the chance since you have to pay to return defective product. thanks for you input anyway. Read each newsletter you send out and they have been helpful.

I've used LD ink for years with great success. But I just "laid to rest" TWO printers in which I used recently purchased LD ink. Wonder if they have changed something. One, I'm SURE was a print head failure, and suspect the second was too. Tried cleaning the print head on the first, no go. The second was still under warranty, so I got it replaced.

Have had similar experiences with LD Products over 2 years with excellent cust. service and only one bad cartridge of many I have used. If fact once they were out of a color and they sent a brand new Canon cartridge but packed in an LG box!! Don't know how often they do this, but it was really nice of them. I generally order from their other company called Ink Cartridges but at same location near Long Beach Airport, because their shipping is always free!!, but they don't have discount codes as often as LD. Merchandise and pricing is identical with both fine companies, but don't use their automated online system - for me it has never worked right - so I always order by phone and usually get my order in 2-3 days -very convenient, no clogging and I have saved a fortune by not buying Epson or Canon inks any longer. I recommend them highly too.

on point and truth in this.

I've noticed some differences in colour saturation ect but they are easily rectified with slight adjustments in Print Shop pro (canon) The price saving is incredible to roll your own.

I have been using non-oem ink for about 8 years on three printers. I currently have a Canon Pixma 922 (all-in one) inkjet. I have been using LD Products aftermarket ink for the last two years with excellent results. The saving are substantial

I am just beginning research on inkjet cartridge options, so am glad to see this!!

I have had issues in the past with non-OEM ink cartridges mainly with color reproduction being way off. Later on purchased non-OEM tower for a Brother Color Laser and had issues with toner flooding the fuser bay. Purchased a Dell BW laser and have been using Cartridge World blank toner with no issues and have been very pleased. Just ordered some LD toner for my Dell e525W and will report back after they have been loaded for a while. Crossing my fingers for a good run, and saving almost $250.
