If you try to save a buck or 2 buying aftermarket inks, you will pay hundreds if not thousands repairing that machine. STICK WITH WHAT WORKS!! These aftermarket ink companys dont have people that know inks like Epson does. Look at Triangle, it took them years to perfect their inks. Now they have a good product. If you like being a guinea pig go for it, but with the economy in state it is in, I dont see how anybody could afford to chance it.
Thats just my 2 cents. I have witnessed these so called new inks first hand, not a good thing.
