I've used the cheapees in a couple of Epsons and a Canon. Outside of the color being slightly off a few times with a couple of the cartridges, I have no complaints. I'm not a heavy digital photo printer. My expectations aren't all that high. Here's one person's ratings for lower cost cartridge suppliers...I usually use 123inkjets.com. pcsupportadvisor.com

I tried one in my office Epson ink jet, and it was horrible color output, so I stick to OEM only.

Probably depends on who did the refilling ... I have happily been using IMS Refill System for several years. Costs ~$18 at Costco, package contains 3 80 ml black, 1 each 80ml Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta. After first couple times you will become accomplished enough to keep any mess to a minimum and they are a real money saver. Old cartridges are good for 8-12 refills ... biggest trick is to refill BEFORE you have run dry which renders it unsatisfactory for a good refill. IMS claims one of the above packages good for 12 HP56 Black refills and 14 HP57 refills ... I have not maintained an accurate refill count but can state its definitely enough to be cost effective. Luck LTBH PS These refills are compatible with most commonly used cartridges.
