Cheap ink jet cartridges

[KKCC]

I bought 3 Epson 880's for myself & friends about a year ago when I saw a Staples deal here. The only carts used after the ones that came with the printers came from Megatoners. The brand I received was always "G & G ", no problems . The order always arrived within a week, (I'm in NY).
I also have an HP 932 but I don't use it since I got the 880. The carts are expensive & the refill didn't always work.

actually guys. The new Epson 2200 has a chip in each of its 8 ink cart.

That thing is $700 :Q , when I pay that much for a printer I'll pay the $30 for cartridges.

Yes these cartridges work excellent with my 880 printer.

The only thing that annoys me is the dumb epson monitor that monitors how much ink you have left. That thing is such BS. When it says i have no more ink, I just use the same cartridge. Then when it says I don't have any ink again, I STILL USE the same cartridge. The cartridges contain a lot more ink then what the monitor says.

so what are people's experiences with these generics?

the worst that happens is clogging? all that means is you have to run the cleaning utility a few times right? nothing more dangerous to the printer?

No. It is more serious than that. The you can't clearn the head without a cleaning cartridge or Epson original cartridge.

really? can you or anyone else explain why it is that the printer requires epson ink to clean and can't use generic ink?

I've ordered inked from them for my Epson 860 and 875DC printers. Used them over a year. There is never been a problem. All inkject nozzles clog, just unclog using software utility. Epson ink clogged just as much. Just order a bunch more for my Canon s9000.

The sales person is real nice. Ships quickly by priority mail last time I ordered.
