    Hello:

    It is not often people write emails or letters of praise but consider this one of the rare ones!
    I must say, ordering your product was about the easiest imaginable. Coupled with the fact that it arrived here basically “next day” I am thoroughly happy. To tell you the truth, I was expecting to have to go pay full retail for one black cartridge thinking that your’s would take at least a week to arrive but I was wrong, the order arrived before I could even go out to get one!
    Congrats people, I WILL tell all my friends and neighbours about you!

Finally Low Cost Inkjet Supplies available across Canada

Posted on February 25, 2010 by kflack

Published on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 Pointe-Fortune, May 21, 2008- Metawatch , a supplier specializing in third party (Epson, Canon and HP compatible and Remanufactured cartridges) Inkjet supplies continues to expand its customer base across Canada.

Metawatch, initially founded in response to high inkjet cartridge pricing, has now evolved into a fully independent, self supporting operational infrastructure with distribution capability across Canada.

Metawatch prides itself on supplying high quality, reliable products across Canada at some of the lowest prices available in the inkjet market backed by a 100% SATISFACTION guarantee makes them a safe choice for your investment in inkjet supplies.

To offset the high cost of shipping product across Canada they offer several price points to their customers.

Orders over $50.00 have free shipping while orders under $20.00 will cost you $10.99. Orders of $20-$30 are $8.50 and orders between $30-$50 will cost you $7.50 for delivery.

As products typically have a 2 year expiry date, clients are encouraged to purchase a 1 years supply (or more than $50.00) to maximize their savings.

Operating as an E-Commerce Mail order company, Metawatch has been able to keep operational costs at a minimum, and bring those savings directly back to their internet based clientele.

To protect its clients against industry product quality and supply issues Metawatch maintains strict quality standards and redundant supplier capabilities. This ensures the capability to provide product to its clients without interruption regardless of industry product availability or quality issues.

Third Party Inkjet Cartridge Product Reliability and Warranty

Third Party Inkjet Cartridge Product Reliability and Warranty

 
Satisfaction Guarantee
Most third party products offer expiry dates of 3 years from the date of manufacture. Longer than many people keep their printers. Although most Third Party manufacturers only offer 30-90 days of satisfaction guarantee it is not because they experience a higher failure rate thereafter but simply so that they do not have to keep inordanite amounts of funds reserved for futre potential claims.

Warranty

Most companies set aside x # of $ for warranty purposes and in effect it would not make sense for them to carry forward multiple years of sales percentages for the product. Our statistics shows less than 1 in x thousands of cartridges fails, and most of these failures are attributable to user related or printer equipment problems. Similarily 30-90 days is sufficient to allow for new clients to properly evaluate their satisfaction levels with the product.

We have never refused a warranty claim for any failed product in the company history for any reason (attributable to the product, or delivery) regardless of date. I am sure not all companies can attest to that claim.

Note: We review our suppliers and track failure rates extensively. We routinely test products from various manufacturers and select only those products offering the highest overall reiliability.

Not all inkjet Cartridges are made the same
Some 3rd party manufacturers have lesser quality ink formulas that can dry out resulting in clogged heads and premature replacement of inkjet cartridges. (See our earlier article on Npyrol). Similarily, the manufacture of the cartridge itself will determine its fit within the printer and its overall seal. Thirdly many cartridges are refillable by using a cartridge resetter. Not all Third Party manufacturers use chips that support being reset.How can you as the end user determine who makes the best inkjet cartridge?

Manufacturers Warranty
No inkjet manufacturer will void their warrany for their printer simply because you use 3rd party inkjet products (Its illegal)

What products have the highest failure rates
Something that none of the inkjet manufactures will ever tell you or publish you can find out here.

Worst
 
The 3rd party market for Lexmark Remanufactured cartridges definately offers the lowest reliability. As Dell uses Lexmark manufactured products (To their Specification) we’ll let you decide where they stand.

Better
 
HP has a well established market and proven technology. We’ll give them a passing grade and you can be confident with the industries re-manufactured products. Again not all remanufactured products are put through the same testing /cleaning prior to being refilled so beware of extreemenly low cost, or fly by night companies.

Best
 
Canon and Epson compatible cartridges are by far the best overall third party products on the market. Due to their simpler design (No Heads) there is less to fail. They are the overall winner in any customer satisfaction survey, and we wouldn’t hesitate to promote them to anyone.
