Hello, I have an Epson stylus photo R800- a full set of genuine epson inks costs me £90 odd. (bear in mind I am a student!). I've been browsing the forum and was wondering if anyone has tried compatible inks for this printer and if so are they any good? so far I have only used genuine inks as professional quality is important to me. Do any of the compatible inks come close? is there any hope for my bank balance?

Don't do it!

Need I say anymore?!

thankyou markgoldstein! that article confirmed all of my fears of using cheap ink, i'm off to pc world, cheers!

No problem, glad to be of help.

I ditched mine........home printing is awful, costly, and a PAIN!!!!!

use your local printer instead for photographic stuff. I use Edinburgh Cameras and they're awesome. You local Pro printing is probably too so get down there!
