Pro-Jet compatibles for Epson ???

Can anyone comment on the general reliability etc. of Pro-Jet compaitible cartidges for an Epson R220. I am looking for decent basic b&w / colour printing rather than super swish glossy photos.

Are there any other brands in a similar price-range which are better / or are to be avoided ?

PS: Have also just been looking at Jet-Tec (as sold by SVP) but which seem to be a lot more expensive.

Thanks !

    I have used Jet-Tec, Datawrite and Pro-Jet on my R200. Had clogging(?) problem with one Jet-Tec and serveral Datawrites (waste a lot of ink on cleaning). Now coming to the end of my first set of Pro-Jet and no problem yet.
    Incidentally I bought my Jet-Tec from SVP, and even though the problem happened several months later, they sent me a replacement with my next order. Very good customer service I would say.

    https://www.discsexpress.co.uk has some great epson compatible inks. They have a full set plus one extra black for less than £5. Cant say much better than that.

    With regards to pro jet. I have never had any problems with them and find them to be a good value and reliable.

    I have used pro jet cartridges from https://www.nd-ink.co.uk and have not had any problems. I am sure i was once told that they are made in the same factory as Desk Type and InkRite cartridges.

  • Hi,

    I have used the Printaid brand from http://www.cartridgefinder.co.uk
    Free next day delivery and great customer service. No problems yet with R300 and C64.
