We buy from a few different manufacturers and I did the same thing. I would send a sample of ink that I knew was made by a different manufacturer and see if the customer got the same results or had the same problem. If they did they should look at what else maybe causing the problem if they didn't have a problem I would keep them running the other ink and keep the customer.Frank T Sullivan IIIhttp://www.mixmasters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33134200.post-43835816149522710932012-01-07T13:56:46.374-08:002012-01-07T13:56:46.374-08:00This is great unless you work for a company that a...This is great unless you work for a company that also manufactures it's own ink and have no choice but to use it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
