Their website should make that disclosure. If it is not in writing they
cannot be trusted.

If that is the case you do not know that is the fact now. BUT YOU CAN
BE ASSURED THAT IF THE BOX SAYS CANON YOU GET CANON AND IF THE BOX SAYS
EPSON YOU GET EPSON AND IF THE BOX SAYS HP YOU GET HP.
With hawked inks you get a LABEL.

Now they have 3 names. I said earlier in this post that they finally
have decided to disclose who mfg their bulk inks. They do not say that
about the carts.

most of the others that do not disclose what they are selling. The
majority of the people who have printer problems have them due to
aftermarket inks.

How can you trust a company that does not disclose all of the truth
about what they are selling. If I had a very high printload then I
would have to find some source. Too bad that Sensinet will only sell
you large quantities. Too bad they do not package their ink in carts
and sell them in all of the channels like Staple or Office Depot etc
under their BRANDED name. Then word of mouth will tell the market how
good they are.
Not a handful of AfterMarket religious freeks like Burt AKA fotofreek.
