Now that my Epson R800 has been relegated to 2nd string by my HP B9180, I felt comfortable using clone cartridges and Kirkland glossy paper (if you're going to go cheap, why not whole hog), and have found the results quite acceptable. The small carts on the Epson were constantly running out and not easily found at retail outlets. The price on the inks were kept high by the lack of competition. Sort of reminds me of "Big Pharma" with medicine. There's nothing like a bit of generic competition to favour the consumer.
