I've been having ink cartridges from 999inks for quite a few years now, and have always been very satisfied with my purchases. My latest purchase was for a new printer, (my old one died on me), and I failed to check the cost of the cartridges for the new one when I bought it. A very silly mistake, as I found when the complimentary ink that came with the new printer ran out. The genuine Epson ink is nearly twice the price as the printer. Fortunately the compatible ink from 999inks is naturally cheaper, and I found it to be better quality than the branded ink suggested by Epson. I still think it a little expensive for the new printer I bought, but it's my own fault for not checking before buying. The price is the only reason for 4 stars.
