NOT ALL COMPATIBLES ARE THE SAME
Recently we've had several printers brought into the shop that just wouldn't print properly. The common link? Cheap compatible inks bought online.
Even after MANY head cleans, the nozzle checks were still really bad and the prints were streaky and patchy.
THE PROOF
This is just one recent example - we've seen the same thing MANY times over the last few months, with Epson 603XL, 604XL and more.
These Epson 405XL inks (top right) came out of a customer's printer. They were bought online and printing really badly - the nozzle check was terrible.
We put in our G&G premium compatible 405XL inks (left and bottom) and the printer worked PERFECTLY, first time - beautiful prints.
WHY G&G?
Our G&G premium compatibles may cost a little more than cheap online inks, but they're still MUCH cheaper than the originals - with the same quality prints.
Cheap ink can end up costing you more: wasted ink, wasted head cleans and a printer that won't print.
