Does anyone else have the problem with compatables in that the new cartridge takes endless clean cycles before it prints OK .....

I've been using UKDVDR.co.uk for around a year now for Epson COMPATIBLES for my R200 and Color 880

http://ukdvdr.co.uk/shop/Epson-Compa...del-c-271.html

R200 compatibles currently 92p each incl VAT (scroll down to the bottom of their list)

Color 880s currently 64p black + 99p colour.

I've only ever used compatibles in my R200 (aside from the initial Epson set that came with the machine) with no problems.

R265 cost me £14 a set but Magenta fails so I use Epson for this...
R200/220 costs £5 to £8 a set at local computer fair with no problems....I bought another 220 from Epson direct for about £27 and plan to ditch R265 on cost and bloody-minded software grounds.
Scource for inks - local computer fairs for last 2 or 3 years.

I bought a load of print cartridges for Epson direct instead of my usual supplier Staples. I think it's much better value for money.

I've used 'notjustink' in Southampton for years for Epson compatibles. Never had a problem. Very friendly, knowledgable and reasonably cheap + very quick. You'll have to look them up though, their website isn't ecommerce.
