The other good news is that our compatible cartridges work in the latest Epson print heads and produce very acceptable results. Thank you for your encouragement Regards John Hi Dellbert,

This means that the Canon print head will fail much sooner than the Epson one, and also that the Canon is more sensitive to "bad" inks from non-OEM suppliers. I bought a Canon MP50 in 2000, and by 2005 the head was shot ($75 for a new print head!), whereas I have two Epson Stylus Color 800's and one 600 that still work great after roughly 15 years, all of which was using non-OEM ink! If you care about keeping these things out of the landfill, then forget the Canons and go with Epson! If you had ALSO tried out a competing NEW Epson printer you would have been very pleased with the results, I'm sure! Also, thanks for taking the time to write these informative posts, I have found many of them very helpful. Keep up the good work!
