(Highest Overall Rating) - last updated September
14, 2004 - Free shipping on orders over $50 (otherwise $3.95 per order) and
100% guarantee. They sell very high quality Inktec refill kits
at very good prices. They also have the lowest prices for most
OEM, remanufactured products, and tektronix phaser products. They are one of
the largest online vendors. I have had contact with this company, and they appear
very devoted to customer service and maintaining their reputation for providing
high quality products. They recognize with the very high volume of products
they ship, there will be a rare cartridge that is defective. They fully stand
by their products. Here's a quote the CEO sent to one person who wrote me about
a bad cartridge she received (the reply came within 24 hours no less): "We
know this and stand by our cartridges 100%. That is why we have a 1 year 100%
satisfaction guarantee on all of products. No questions are asked when a customer
wants a refund or replacements. Once is a while a customer is going to be a
bad cartridge and we try to make it as painless as possible."
They are offering a special promotion for Med-Psych Network
visitors - this gives them the lowest prices for MANY products.
Use the following coupon codes when you check
out: Med5 for 5% off orders over $35 or Med10 for 10% off orders over
$55 (can NOT combine coupons). But you still get the free
shipping on orders over $50. They will ship to US and Canada.

What are OEM cartridges?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Usually these products are made
by one company and then the manufacturer's name (such as HP, Epson, Canon, etc)
is put on the product. These are the "name brand" products you find
at most computer stores. They are usually expensive, but are generally of good
quality.
What are remanufactured cartridges?
A remanufactured product is a used product that has been disassembled and
its worn parts replaced. The print heads are tested for damange and defects.
If the parts are okay, then it is refilled with ink and is tested in the factory
to guarantee print quality. It is basically the recycling of an empty cartridge
to meet or exceed OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications of quality
and reliability. Remanufacturing is considered more comprehensive than recharging
or refilling, and is typically the cheapest alternative to refilling yourself.
Your printer's print head cleaning utility (described in your printer's operating
manual) should always be run 1-2 times after inserting a remanufactured product.
What are compatible or generic cartridges?
Compatible (also referred to as generic) products are made to meet or exceed
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications of quality and reliability.
Manufactured 100% brand new, with all new parts, they are an economical alternative
to name-brand products.
What are inkjet refills?
Inkjet refills come in kits (or some places sell as separate supplies) that
consist of ink bottles, syringes, and an air balance clip. Refilling is simply
the process of injecting ink from the bottles into your existing cartridge.
The air balance clip is used to balance the air inside your cartridge, assuring
that ink will flow from the print head immediately upon printing. Your printer's
print head cleaning utility (described in your printer's operating manual) should
always be run 1-2 times after inserting a refilled product. This is definitely
the most economical approach to printing, but does take some time and effort.
Will refilling my cartridge (or using remanufactured products)
void the warranty on my printer?
NO! This is a common misperception. Companies have threatened in the past
to void printer warranties when using refills. Legislation has since prohibited
voiding warranties for this reason. For more information, search the web for
the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act.
