5.0 out of 5 stars Prefer OEM over Generic, August 22, 2001

Epson cartridges are my preference over the cheaper generic cartridges. Since I am partial to Epson Printer, I have owned only Epson, and experimented with generic cartridges which although they perform admirably, the difference is seen in high quality photos. While using the highest print settings generic cartridges produce some hues that strongly effect photos of people, facial tones are uneven. This makes you look like a bad photograher to the unknowledgable. With the Epson cartridges this problem does not exist, so if that happens while using OEM clean you printer nozzles, and make sure you have an ample ink supply by checking your printer properties... you may be low on one or more colors. And yes BLACK is a key component in photo printing.

Works great in Epson 1270 photo, approximately 1 black cartridge to 2 color ones. Photo and print quality is great! Prices are more reasonable than the ones for my HP.

3.0 out of 5 stars Must change black & color cartridges at the same time, January 14, 2007

OK, I agree with everyone that Epson makes pretty good ink. Photos come out looking good, and they are archival inks as well. So far so good.

What irks me is that even if I've been overwhelmingly using black ink, when it is used up the printer won't start up until I replace both the black & color cartridges. In fact, Epson settled a class-action suit because the printer would require you to replace both cartridges EVEN WHEN THERE WAS ENOUGH INK LEFT IN THEM. So I ended up having to replace both cartridges when there was no reason to replace either of them, so Epson could sell more high-priced ink. What do I get out of it if I send in my claim? $40 in Epson products, or enough for one set of ink cartridges.

Well, I've bought the last Epson ink I'll ever buy, and the last Epson printer, too. What's the point of having separate cartridges if you have to change them at the same time? Epson has nothing to gain by abusing its customers.

I've since replaced my Epson inkjet with a Brother B&W network laser printer that I'm very happy with, and if I want color photos I upload them to my neighborhood drug store, where my photos are ready in one hour for less cost than printing them on Epson photo paper. If I want a color printer in the future it will be a non-Epson laser printer. Inkjets are a pain in addition to being expensive in the long run anyway.
