Quality inks to meet one's needs.
I first started using the Epson Stylus Photo R 800 Printer shortly after it was out in the market place.

Best price when buying the set
I own an Epson R1800 and BH Photo is the least expensive place that I've been able to purchase the ink cartridges as a set. I find it best to keep at least one of each of the cartridges on hand to avoid having to make last minute trips to the store to purchase the more expensive ones. The OEM cartridges are the only ones that seem to provide quality prints for my customers. The only thing I don't like about the cartridges is the cost.

Excellent Ink
I use this ink in an Epson R1800 printer. The color is outstanding. I only have clogs when the printer goes for an extended period without being used Even then I've never had one to take more than two automatic cleanings to clear and most of the time it only takes one. Prints made on Epson luster paper will match most any printer Don't bother with third party inks. The color won't be as good and clogging is a real problem.

True color rendition
Usually I buy high-quality clone cartridges, but I have noticed with the (new) drivers under Windows 7 that my R800 now prints significantly lighter (unsaturated) colors. When I switched back to Epson (OEM) cartridges, it prints fully saturated colors and they colors are much truer to the screen (RGB) colors. I suspect this may be a driver behavior since the driver knows when the cartridges are not OEM.
