Swiftink = Damn Good Ink

I've tried HP refilled carts from other companies before.. and was so disatisfied that
I switched back to OEM versions.

I now have a Canon I560... and was skeptical about any non-OEM.. but I'm a sucker and decided to try Swiftink... WOW am I very plesantly supprised!.

>The ink is at least as good as the OEM version... surprised.

>The actual printed page from these is just like the OEM ink produced... no streaks
etc.. perfect!

>The cartridges are newly made & not refilled.

>They come in a electronically sealed heavy duty plactic bag.. no Zip Lock bags here.

>They are in a professionally made & printed box.. just like you'd buy in a store.

>They do SHIP FAST using USPS Priority Mail. 3 Bus. Days to me. Ordered twice so far
and both times were in 3 Bus Days. They are in Michigan & I'm in the South.

>They tell you when your order shipped.

>If you e-mail them with a question, they typically respond the same day in a courtious manner. They WRITE AMERICAN ENGLISH... not a small matter to those of us born in this country.

>The Shipping Charges are reasonable. I think exactly what it cost them to ship it. They don't gouge you trying to make a profit in HANDLING. They are packaged well too.

>The prices are about half what you'd pay for OEM.

>Most carts & INK are made in the GOOD OLD ... USA.. by AMERICANS. BUY AMERICAN:thumbsup:!!

I'm going to get in on this 3 for 2 deal.

I DO NOT work for them nor am I in any way affiliated. I saw it here on AnandTech by
"funboy42" & tried it. Thank you funboy42!


Du It.

Be sure to read the fine print:
"Buy two ink cartridges get one free. This offer applies to all ink cartridges under $10 only. Therefore, it does not apply to any HP or Lexmark cartridges.

So, when you go to the Swiftink link above, copy their coupon code to your clipboard. You have to include that coupon code in the "comments" section of the order page to get the 3rd cartridge free.

Also note, as per the Swiftink link above, you only add 2 cartridges to your cart. The free one will not appear on the order confirmation. However, the 3rd cartridge will be included in the shipment.

That is what I did. Ordered 2 of the SAME cartridges for my canon @ 4.95 each. In the comments section I placed the coupon code. $13.75 shipped and I expect to get 3 in the mail.

 

[emeraldsky]

Thanks gedman. I'm sure you'll save somebody's bacon.

 

[funboy6942]

You all are most welcome and glad to see that others are just as happy (and excited) that there is ink out there that is as good as oem but without the oem price. I honestly dont mind paying a little extra for swift ink because I am getting damn good ink and not crap.

>Most carts & INK are made in the GOOD OLD ... USA.. by AMERICANS. BUY AMERICAN!!

Of course the box says assempled and packaged in China. One would assume assembly is an important factor in the inkcart's proper functioning. So buy CHINESE AMERICAN!
Not that there's anything wrong with that. My made in China inkcart's are just fine, thank you.

Another testimonial for SwiftInk. Bought 2 blacks about a month ago for my Epson CX6400; $18 shipped, arrived quickly, works perfectly. I wish we could use this for the colors, 'cuz I need colors not blacks!!

Just my point but I guess I flew too high. Let me hunker down a bit. There is a big sign that says made in USA but it's actually packaged and assembled in China with ink that ostensibly is mfr here along with the cartridge components. Final assmebly is important I think and having the ink made-in-USA is to no technological advantage that I know of. Anyone can read a BIG BANNER but it is intentionally misleading. Read your box. What is that reference to China? Duh!

Took you up on the print the pic and did one at photo setting (not highest) and paper as glossy photo paper.
Printer used was a epson R200 will all carts bought from Swiftink (All 6 for thoes counting)
Paper used was Kodak Picture Paper Soft Gloss
Scaned photo with my Lexmark Scanner at Photo Setting and 150 dpi
The result was THIS

It is still on the large size so you see the dots. May want to save and open it with your software to scale it down..

All I can say looking at the photo in my hand is it is spot on to my eye and looks great.

 

[clarkmo]

It does look good but the yellows don't seem strong enough. It doesn't have to be the ink though. It could be the scan. You could always adjust in the driver or use a different color profile. The second site has a lot of good advice on that. Can't say that there are any print errors on the page though.
