Ink cartridges, compatible or OEM
Self

Posted on 08/16/2005 4:59:48 PM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

I have an Epson R320 printer and it prints wonderful color pics so I know about the quality of the ink. The isk is also waterproof. I want to know if the MUCH cheaper compatible cartridges produce equal quality and if they REALLY work as advertised.

Any help or links to good websites that can help me out would be great.

refill OEM carts - that's the best deal.

Can you get genuine Epson ink and don't those ink cartridges have chips in them that basically cause the cartridge to malfunction after a certain period of time?

There are many sites that will tell you which ones can/can't be reused or refilled

I would google epson inkjet refills, and prepare to spend an hour or so weeding out the junk sites.

There's a site that specializes in testing and recommending Canon OEM cartridges, but Canons don't have any stupid electronics. they are cheaper to begin with.

Like what? I am not lazy, I googled but came up with zero useable sites.

While the printer is still under warranty - OEM. Use anything else - warranty is null & void.

I only use OEM cartridges. I want the best quality prints I can get with the least trouble.

OEM cartidges for Epson and HP printers can be found for a reasonable price online or at Walmart.
