Hi Matus, I have tried a lot of ink with different OEM brands, and the results were not so good. The first impression is normally quite good, but with time passing by, they normally fade out sooner than the original inks, and the companies that assure you a stable quality production, have higher prices not so attractive comparing with the original brands. Another reason is, if you have a costumer using compatible ink, and if he has some problem with the printing heads, he will say that the problem is the ink. Heaven if the ink it is not the problem. On the other way, if the costumer is using original ink, he will never say that the problem is the ink. Maybe with the original you don't make a lot of money, but you are running of a lot of problems.

Hi, has anybody by coincidence concerned himself / herself with the quality and color behaviour of ink jet refills? Is it possible that some of these refills would, in terms of their quality, compare to original inks from such manufacturers as Epson, Canon, etc., or is it not at all a good way of saving money, when one also demands professional color prints. Would you (or would you not) recommend refilling ink jet cartridges? Is there any study on this from the color-management-point-of-view? I'd be looking forward to any comments.
