Did I tell them they HAVE to buy it ? Did I force anyone to go to the website and look ?
No, but you recommended people do without actually knowing if the inks are any good long term...

It's the same exact bottle , same exact weight . There isn't a single thing different . I even took off the side marking sticker and measured it. Every marking on the bottle is 100% the exact same. Usually you can spot a counterfeit by a color on a logo being off or something but its not . I bought it just to check it out and I was surprised it was the exact same all the way around .
After checking it out that is why I decided to post the info .
I'm sorry all of this got out of hand , I didn't mean to cause harm by it . Again , all I was doing is posting info to help .

Same bottle and weight and label means nothing. The Chinese are so good at making fakes now to the eye they often look the same as the original. Look at a lot of the fake designer stuff they make now. Only experts can tell if they are real or not, and even then they often can't say for definite.
Look at Roland printers! The Chinese make copy circuit boards for them. You can normally tell them because the fonts are wrong or they have spelling mistakes ( like PANE'i' board instead of PANEL BOARD, so these aren't genuine Roland boards being sold cheap, they are definitely unofficial.
You have no idea what is actually in the ink. It may look the same and smell the same, but could have any sort of other chemicals added, or the pigment could be larger than the genuine ink uses, which will cause problems. Unless you have used an ink for a good few months and gone through a couple of cartridges you can't say it works fine.
I have used genuine Jetbest for years, so can confidently recommend it to people if it is bought from the official distributors, but I wouldn't tell people to buy it from dubious sources and say it will perform the same.

Yea and knocking over grave markers where Fred is buried was not a good idea either. But we all make mistakes, don’t worry about and move on.

I admire autoexebat entrepreneurship—If it doesn't work. It is a mistake and never done again. Hey, we all have families to support, and costs are high—but here’s my point.
U.S. customers have higher expectations, especially for outdoor durability. Jetbest exports to over 80 countries, and the formulas vary by market. To compete in China, costs are lower, and while the printheads won’t clog, the UV durability is shorter than the U.S. formula. The same applies to markets like Mexico, where a lower-cost formula makes business sense.
If you’re using legitimate Jetbest ink, it will perform fine without head clog—but don’t expect it to match the premium products we sell. Some claim third-party ink ruins printheads; that may be true for unknown, generic brands sold cheaply online, but not for genuine Jetbest. Buying $10-per-liter ink from a disappearing Alibaba seller isn’t the same as buying from a reputable distributor who stands behind the product at premiercolour.com.
Ultimately, it’s your printer and your decision. Just be aware that product bar code differ by region—we customize them to track where the ink is distributed worldwide. Compare the old bottle vs ones you got from China.
