Properly and conspicuously in "every place".

You talk to Image Specialists about ordering small quantities, for
North America they tell you MIS associates. It's on their fucking
website.

http://www.image-specialists.com/about_us_global_dis.aspx

You go to MIS's website
http://www.inksupply.com/imagespec.cfm

You order Image Specialists ink.

You get the branded bottles.

All disclosed properly according to Measekite's high standards.

However we know Measekite is a liar, if he actually phoned these
people, he would have had honest information. He can't backup these
phone calls, but I can backup my assertions with weblinks. All
totally disclosed to Measekite's high standards.


There are no Sensinent or Formulabs labels on the packaging or on the
product.

Who's website?

e Specialist website as a vendor for their inks.  Precision Colors

(http://home.eol.ca/~mikling/) identifies the Canon compatable inks

The word compatible just like with computers years ago is a meaningless
overused term.  There is not such thing.

Precision Colors sells Image Specialist inks. They likely buy bulk
and sell small quantities. Lots of people do it, Image Specialists is
a MAJOR ink manufacturer.

But in order to meet Measekite's standards you have to talk to Image
Specialists and ask them for an official distributor. This happens
to be MIS associates for north America.

I'd have to look into Precision Colors to see if there is any
advantage to ordering from them. The only disadvantage is they don't
meet Measekite's standards for disclosure, even though they disclose
what they sell on their website.

But you are able to purchase IS ink for resale, and you can even buy
their stickers to do it. Most companies don't. There's a good reason
not to disclose where you buy your ink from, so someone else doesn't
come buy and start their own aftermarket business. Obviously
Precision Colors isn't worried about it.

There is not such thing as compatibility issues these are problems

I have no idea what you are on about. I use MIS ink my self. I've
used alot of it. My printers didn't explode. I printed a ton of
stuff and saved enough money to take a modest vacation.

You are me satisfied by having lower standards.  Most truly professionals
use OEM ink.

Do you have any demographic information to back this up? I'm sure
you'll redefine "truly professional" the moment you find someone who
sells their prints using anything other than OEM ink. Those into
black&white prints might consider aftermarket because the support is
better. You can't really get grey OEM ink, but you can get grey
aftermarket ink.


You are willing to accept many problems but I do not choose to do that.

Actually you sir are a liar. You accept problems such as fading by
using non OEM paper, specifically Kirkland. I don't know about their
latest batch but while it's a paper that looks really good, it's not
archival in the slightest. Printing on the Canon onto swellable
polymer paper using aftermarket ink results in a more archival print
than OEM on OEM paper (PP-101 IIRC). Now using OEM on SP paper, well
that produces even more archival print.

But the truth of the matter is your prints will fade faster than many
of us who use aftermarket ink, because you sir are an idiot.
