I guess you get what you pay for. After reading all these positive reviews, I finally decided to give non-Epson ink a try. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I thought everything was going well when the printer recognized it, but when it did the nozzle test there were a few "blank" sections where the ink was not laying down. I have tried doing head cleaning several times, but this does not resolve the issue, just moves the blank sections around. I have had this printer for two years and have never had this problem before when using Epson ink. What it boils down to is that this ink works okay if you are only printing color printoffs of web pages or something, but NOT for photos (but then why bother having a photo printer?). My photos have visible lines in them, like you would get with a very low-quality non-photo printer. Some have even come out with drops of ink all over them. I will be throwing these out as soon as I order some new Epson ink...unfortunately for my wallet :(

These work well. I like the compatible cartridges because they are cheaper. I don't print pictures with any brand of compatible ink cartridge because they don't work well, the colors are off. I do like them for everything else because of the price difference.

Let me just say, this product is awesome!

Epson is such a joke; had I thought it through further, I would have seen how expensive printer cartridges were going to be, and probably would never have bought the printer. In my case, I got my Epson Stylus Photo R220 for only about $90. To replace all of the ink cartridges with Epson ink, it costs about $75. I can very nearly get a BRAND NEW PRINTER for that! Add that to the fact that every time you even turn on the printer, it AUTOMATICALLY uses up 3-5% of your ink!! Just for turning on your printer! What is that all about??!? They say it's for 'head cleaning' or whatever, I say it's 3-5% closer to making you buy more ink. Then, to top it off, when you do get to zero percent on the cartridges, they are not actually empty!!! I'm not kidding; there is some chip in there that just decides you're at zero, even though you have ink left. You can buy this thing that lets you re-write the chip and fool it into letting you actually finish all of the ink you paid for, but come on; why should we have to go to such lengths? Apparently there was a class action law suit about this very phenomenon, and Epson lost. So... I should stop complaining.

My saving grace is this product right here! All that ink for such a great price! I don't even worry about turning my printer on or off anymore, because now I know I can get these refills, cheaply, that look and work perfectly. They also came to my door incredibly fast! I have no complaints and I recommend this product to everyone.

I was skeptical about purchasing a cheaper non-epson ink cartridges for my printer thinking they would not work well. So far I have had the cartridges in my printer for a few weeks, and I don't notice any bad performance from it.

I have to say, I wasn't sure this product would work in my printer. I was skeptical because of the price, but I've had great results from the ink cartridges I purchased! I'm so glad I got I got such a great deal!!!

Ink is so expensive but this ink is a great price and worked perfectly as soon as I installed it! I'm ordering some more right now!!

The price was certainly right, but I was nervous about all the usual stuff:

* Color

* Print Quality

* Drying Time

* Ink Quantity per cartridge

* Resistance to Drying out/plugging up between uses

After installing in my R200, things seem to work just fine. Color and quality (4x6 snapshots) are OK. DVDs (the printer's primary function) are fine. Drying time of the ink seems OK. Quantity of ink (so far) seems to be as good as the OEMs. I had trouble with the OEMs and some aftermarket cartridges drying up and plugging up between uses. So far... that hasn't been an issue.

can't miss here...quick service, good ink...might upgrade for some high end photos but for friend snapshots we have found the hold color and are very stable woth excellent color rendition.

Delivery was quick. I had no problems with the product. This is the thrid time I have done a review. I hope it enters the data basic this time.

This ink works well on my printer (epson R300), i didnt have any problem loading the ink. This picture quality is amazing. Saved a ton of money verses buying orig cartridges. I would purchase this item again.
