RC,
First off, don't worry about your spelling. If I didn't have "IEspell" installed on my computer all my posts would be atrocious (I only spelled that correctly because IEspell found it!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Personally I'm very curious about different ink suppliers. I'm not as worried about perfectly matching colors because I can adjust for that in my controls, and my family's eyes aren't that discriminating. Longevity isn't really an issue either since I can, as you say, just reprint later.
BUT viscosity, particulate matter, etc. that all relate to plugging up my printer... that's a very different matter and is extremely important to me.
I think the goal of every ink manufacturer is to match the OEM ink as closely as possible. If they can't get the color right or the longevity right, then I'd also be concerned about their ability to get the other factors right.
I'm not speaking of a specific company, because for the most part I've not had any terrible success with any of the inks I've tried. When I do have problems I often have an issue of determining if it is something I caused during the refill process, a bad cartridge, etc.
