Default Compatible inks

Anyone have any experience with Printpal compatible ink cartridges? Are
they any good? Specifically BCI-3E ink tanks.

It's very rare to find compatible BCI-3e cartridges filled with
pigmented black ink because of the higher cost involved. Most of them
are filled with the cheaper dye black. They work OK but the ink isn't
near waterproof like pigmented, won't print as sharp, and it will
feather (run) on plain paper. I buy BCI-3e pigmented ink in bulk (8oz
bottles) from atlanticinkjet.com and refill my own to great satisfaction.

I read reports that they are one of the worst of a bad bunch.

That says the word compatible is meaningless.

Cheaper is all they care about.

Typical.
