As I posted on the front page:

All I can say is GOOD!!!!!! While I use an Epson CX6400, the principle is still the same. You must be crazy to think that I'm going to spend $20+ dollars per cartridge on "Genuine Epson" ink instead of the $3.74 I pay for generics that work perfectly fine. Heck, these are the same people that won't include a 50 cent 6' USB cable in the box with their printers.

which genetic inks you use with your printer? are the colors accurate? how about printing to photo media?

I use generics from Megatoners.com. They work GREAT!!! I don't even get that message that says "You're not using genuine Epson ink" with these cartridges (I did get the message with the last batch I got off eBay).

They print EXACTLY the same as the Epson inks that came with the printer. I've printed off tons of pictures and they all look fabulous

For some reason, that 50¢ printer cable turns into a $30-$50 cable at CompUSA or BestBuy. Hmmm...

It's all one big conspiracy between the retail chains and the printer manufacturers. I buy my USB cables for $1 a piece at Acortech and include them for free in all the printers I sell on eBay.

I saw this on Ars yesterday and went "woohoo!", nice to see a weaselly companiy trying to misuse the DMCA get smacked down hard and told not to come back again

Great man. Thanks for that link. BTW, should I consider using 3rd party generics for my HP laserjet 1150?

Excellent news!

I have an Epson C80 and it disables the printing process, even if one of the color cartridges are too low, thus making it impossible to print in B&W only. Grr!!!

Thanks for the info man, I was kinda hesitant on buying generic ink off Ebay so you just saved me a ton of money. I really hate this damn Epson CX5200 I bought. The color and black cartridge each cost about $40, whats worse is that if I still have black ink left and no color I still cant print black only. :|

HOLY COW DUDE! I've never heard of that place! Taking a look at their prices, I'll definitely be getting my ink for my Canon printer there. THANKS!

I have used the Generic Carti. from megatoners.com for the Canon Printers I've had, the last Epson Photo printer, and still using the Generic Cart. from megatoners on the Epson Photo Printer that I have now and they have worked perfectly. I have used megatoners for many years now and never had a problem with any of their products.

Good news for me, since my black cartrige just decided to die. Nope, it's full of ink, it just stopped outputting any. There aren't any clogs or anything. I just got this piece of crap this past Christmas, didn't print very much, (though sometimes I'd print a single page in black and white, then color just to keep any clogging down) and it's stopped printing even though everything says there is ink. Bleh, I hate Lexmark.

Bookmarked the megatoners website - I'll be ordering from them when I run out next for my Espon C80
