Ken, I think that generics can be used without problems on some printers. Canon seems to handle generics a little better than Epson. Epsons have a tendency to clog, especially if the printer isn't used often. Generics and Epson don't seem to work well in some cases. If I had an HP I'd stick with OEM cartridges. HP generics are harder to get..at least they used to be when I had my HP. I get my generic cartridges (Canon) from Abcink.com. I don't do a lot of photo printing...mostly black text. I haven't had any problems with them. People seem to feel that there is less of a problem with print quality when using generic cartridges with black printing...more complaints about color. I haven't had any problems with their color cartridges either..but I'm not that picky about color since I'm not printing important photos. Here's a couple of sites that rate generic suppliers..I think the rankings look reasonably accurate from what I've heard and read over the years. med-psych.net techsupportalert.com You can also check bizrate and read how customers rate the various suppliers. bizrate.com To sum it up, I think that mileage varies with generics..depending on your printer make and what you want to print.
