I know the feeling well Dave. I purchased one of those internet-order "cheap" special 3-packs of recycled re-inked cartridges. Worst mistake I ever made. I can't use them with anything that I want to look half way decent. They are o.k. for printing out emails or ebay confirmations or informal lists and memos, etc., but for something like catalogs, or letters, or documents, it's been my experience to go for the couple of extra bucks.

The old saying, "the bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten", could never have been truer said.
