Epson Ink Question

I have just purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R200 printer. I didn't buy the original Epson ink cartridges, I bought compatibles, I bought photo quality inkjet paper 180/gsm, I'm just back from holiday and my didital photos I took when I print them turn out very dull, the colours are all dull. I've tried every setting from photo, best photo, enhanced photo but it doesn't make any difference. What I want to know is...is this bad quality due to the fact I'm using compatible ink cartridges?...Is there any difference between original Epson inks and compatibles?

All help would be appreciated

Thanks Colin
 
Are you saying you never used the OEM carts that came with the printer? That is a VERY good idea for Epson purchasers - I think they put something in the OEM carts that cause compatibles to clog almost immediately.
. IAC, compatibles will do that, you have to play with the settings quite a bit to get near to OEM print quality from them. And you may never get it exactly the same. I've heard that the Swiftink.com epson compatible tanks are supposed to be pretty good.
