I used Linkyo "compatible" cartridges for about 2 years on my Epson printer. While it saved me versus authentic Epson cartridges, I noticed my print quality started degrading in about a month (fading contrast, vertical lines, etc.). I tried taking out the cartridge and shaking it which sometimes helped. When my printer died (a very sad moment), I called an acquaintance at Office Max and he reminded my that you get what you pay for, particularly when going off brand.
I replaced my Epson and now only use Epson cartridges (dual packs from major sellers). My printer has not had any degradation in 2 years hence. Professional print quality, far less jamming, my Epson loves me again....
I prefer having the quality of my product be a representative of my pride in my work. |
