Hey all, I got a new Epson R200 printer and I was wondering where you guys bought ink from. Did you just buy the official stuff? Is there any good place to buy quality ink relatively cheaply? I tried buying some "compatability" ink off ebay but that stuff looks like crap. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions. Have you used this ink before? If so, how's the quality? I'd like to find some relatively inexpensive quality ink, not really looking to get one of those kits or refillable cartridges. They seem too much hassle. Any other suggestions that people have used would be very welcome.

CIS set-ups are GREAT and VERY little needs to be done other then the initial 30 min hook-up

But, yes BEFORE I went CIS I used this ink for about 8 months out of the 60+ carts I had gotten only 2 were bad but I had replacements in 4 days

- Very good colors and the black is black not dark grey (like HP carts) and they seem to be NEW carts each time I've got them(not refilled carts) I still have 2 full sets of carts (JUST in case my CIS ever fails

) - If you don't print a ton of pictures or DVD covers/cases I would at least try these carts - You really can't beat $14 for a full set of carts!

Thanks for the suggestion Rikter. I'll definitely try that ink. Got any good CIS referrences? I've seen the one posted on this site (can't remember the name of the site off the top of my head), but I read a review and it seemed a little daunting for the inital setup.
