John - you are a bit late, sad to say. Epson just won a suit that stopped
the sale of compatable carts for their printers in the US. You might find
some on ebay, but selling them is now illegal as far as I know.

That is a wise choice.

I would never by anything like that on ebay.

As far as non Epson ink in your Epson printer.

1. It will not longer be an Epson printer
2. If you do photos the quality will be lower
3. If you do photos there is a higher probability of fading
4. No paper profiles exist
5. Unless you print very frequently you run the risk of clogging a
printhead and ruining the printer

So if you print a lot and do not care about quality then make any
choice. I think you will find that the same stuff is sold under many
different names by many places. I found out that one company sell under
3 different websites and they sell the same stuff under different names.

That's news to me, as I just received an order of compatibles for our C82
Epsons from our source in New York City on Monday. I'm aware of the ITC's
ruling attempting to slap a tarrif onto each imported cartridge but not
aware that the President signed it into law. What news exactly do you have
Burt?

Two places that will have decent quality compatible ink cartridges that I
have purchased from are

www.inksupply.com (MIS)
and
www.alotofthings.com

Additionally you can purchase spongeless cartridges from MIS for the R200
that are easy to refill, a chip resetter, and bulk ink. I've been using this
method for a dozen C84, C88+ printers at school and this method has saved a
fortune both in money and not having to throw empty cartridges away.

If you ever find yourself in Canada:

www.idiya-solutions.com

A 6-pak set costs CAD $26. Now that's cheap, and they're good too!

I hope you are wrong also.I used to buy the epson carts on ebay but
there is not any good deals there now.The last set I bought on ebay only
cost me $37.00 any where else about $90.00.I checked with
alotofthings.com and they still list the compatables there
