Epson R200 Compatible Ink
Does anyone have experience with compatible ink cartridges for the Epson
Stylus Photo R200? Although I want to maintain the excellent photo quality I get from this printer, I'm sure I don't have to pay £60 for a set of cartridges, when the printer cost £70! Cartridge Monkey sell the full set for £16 http://www.cartridgemonkey.com/produ...463da2bb443711 and seem to be very confident that the quality is the same, if not better than that of the Epson originals. The cartridges are from Formulabs USA which seem to have a very high reputation for being as good as the originals. They also say that the cartridges have detergent in the ink just like the Epson ones to prevent nozzle clogging. Does anyone have any opinion as to how different the print quality will be, or any experience with this printer or others in it's family? Thanks for any advice |

Cartridge Monkey sell the full set for £16 It seems that the economics of your situation do warrant taking a risk and Formulabs ink is probably worth the risk. Since Epson printers do have a greater propensity to clog if not used on a regular basis do be careful. http://www.cartridgemonkey.com/produ...463da2bb443711 and seem to be very confident that the quality is the same, if not better than that of the Epson originals.

It has been said by some in this NG that they cannot tell the difference. Thanks for any advice |

Thanks for any advice I've been using IMJET inks from http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acata...hoto_R200.html (£5.98 for a set) for the last month or two - no clogs, but the printer is used fairly regularly. They are alright as cheap inks, but the batch I have currently fitted have a slight green cast on b/w images which wasn't there on previous sets.. The same place also do a set of JETTEC for £18.12, and they were up until the weekend doing a set of SMARTJET carts for £4.25 (yes, really) - I've got a set of them but haven't tried them yet. |
