Complaint Review: Pelikan Brand / Nu-kote International

I saw Pelikan printer replacement cartridges at my local Wal-Mart. It says on the package "Pelikan inks are formulated for use in the original equipment manufacturer's machines listed and are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship."
It seemed like a good idea to by a remanufactured cartridge that would supposedly work just as well as the more expensive OEM.

Well it worked for about 2 weeks then I got this error on my screen that the cartridge was defective and would damage my printer if I kept using it. So I took it back and exchanged it for a second Pelikan cartridge, willing to give it another chance. After 2 weeks this one is doing the same thing!

Now I've spent 50% more money than I would have had I just bought the OEM and I still need to get cartridges for my printer!
