It was awful. The status monitor never reported the right amount of ink in the cartridges, it's a mess to fill with the hypodermic needles that come with the system, and the cartridges leaked in the printer. I ruined enough paper with splotches and streaks to negate any savings I would have had with the cheaper ink. I won't use anything but genuine Epson inks again.
