I've ordered from him and have been VERY pleased with the service and quality of the ink. Plus he offers a 20 month satisfaction guarantee. Even offers free shipping on 6 or more carts, $3.50 for under 6 carts. They claim that their factory distributes more than 25 million ink carts a year.

 
Something I've been wondering about as well. In terms of quality how are these cartridges? How much ink are in them? Will it affect the overall performance of the printer? Will it cause premature clogging (yeah, that sounds funny 😉)?

I purchased a set of clone cartridges for an Epson Stylus 740. I only purchased one each of black and color. The price was about 75% of a standard epson cartridge at the time (but I don't remember now).

Nearly every time I printed with the generic cart, the ink did not come out of the cartridge correctly... there were spots on the page of various inks (color and black) as it printed in any mode and resolution on any type of paper. Even when it would get through a page without blotting, the quality wasn't as good as the epson brand. I ended up removing them after only using them one day for testing (as soon as I replaced with the epson brand the problems were gone).

Thus, I have never purchased generic cartridges since then. (Replaced with EPSON brand carts about 3x now).

Of course, I only tried the off-brand once, so, I may have just hit the defective ones, but, it wasn't worth it (at the time) to potentially damage a $250 printer over a comparably small amount of savings. I may re-evaluate that decision since the printer can be had <$100 nowadays and the Epson(TM) Brand cartridges are about $18-25 each depending on where you buy and in what quantity. The risk/reward factor is much better. But, it is still a gamble. Let me know how the cheap ones work for you all.

dman6666, I had the same experiences that you did with my Epson 740. Ink splotches with the generic ink cartridges.

This is what I do. I buy an original, authentic, Epson cartridge. Then I have bottles of ink which I use to fill them once they finish.

My Dad buys the ink from some place called Ink2000 or something here in California. We normally can refill the cartridge about 10 times before it will no longer print well.

Cheap, quick and cheap =)
 
I have used about 5 of these generice brand black and color cartriges on a Epson 600. I haven't had any problems with them or noticed any difference in quality.
 
Search on google.com for &quot;INK-JET REFILL&quot;. Epson cartridges refill by drilling 2 small holes in the top. A blunted syringe is then used to inject the ink, then taped shut to (at least) slow down evaporation loss.
