Compatibles or original cartridges?

noblues · 06-02-2007, 01:42 PM

I have an Epson RX640 and am almost out of the warranty period, thinking of going back to using compatible cartridges ...

1) Is their any advantage to using orginal Epson's?

2) Does using compatibles cause clogging problems (threw my old Epson printer out after x years using compatibles after cleaning tubes blocked up ..).

3) Do compatibles fade over time?

4) Can anyone recommend a good compatible brand (seen Projet which look OK on reviews).

Thanks.

I inherited an Epson C66 last year.

I've never used genuine cartriges. I only buy compatibles and it works fine.
