Okay......I have to admit. The R200,300 etc. Printers Epson uses these for return outstanding image quality! I love the results. However, you generally need a set of 6 different inks, which conclusively results in roughly the same price as I paid for my printer to use these on! Also, the life of these for photos is roughly the same as the starters that came with my Epson printer. I am debateing whether just to buy third-party company cartridges of them....or an entire new printer!!!!! I think Epson needs to reconsider the prices for this product and offer a 6-Colour Ink pack for a low price. I think this would encourage people to then use the Inkjet printers more often.
