I don't have a problem using third-party inks on my cheap everyday printers. It's perfect for the Epson printer it's designed for. But for professional quality jobs on a pretty expensive (at least when we bought it a few years ago) Epson Photo R1800 -- genuine ink is the only way to go. I don't think this ink requires any comments. Its genuine from Epson, period.
I sincerely hope you buy one even if you don't have a printer. It leaves one feeling wonderfully. IT as if angels themselves came down in this ink cartridge. I have never had an ink cartridge change my life in so many ways. It will change your life. Not only does it allow my printer to print but it prints an amazing baby blue. This ink cartridge is amazing. I recommend this ink cartridge to anyone who needs to print.
Their archival/long-life qualities are very impressive. I continue to be amazed at the quality of these Epson inks.
If you do serious work and serious volume, genuine Epson ink is the ONLY way to go unless you want constant problems and headaches. I buy my Epson ink cartridges from Amazon.com because they have the lowest available price for genuine Epson cartridges and if you make sure you are buying from Amozon.com and not a sub-supplier, you can always get free freight.
The color can be duplicated, but all inks are not created equal. It is important to me that my prints are of high quality, so I don't attempt to use the cheaper compatible ink cartridges. Third party options may produce a good print initially, but may not hold up or last as long.PROS:Provides superior resistance to water, fading and smudgingCONS:Price When it comes to ink for my R1800 photo printer, I am concerned with the quality of the images I print. The Epson cyan UltraChrome Hi-Gloss ink cartridge provides superior resistance to water, fading and smudging.
