Does  anyone have experience with the Generations inksets sold at 
various places  such as Inkjetmall?

How do they compare to Epson  inks?

Thanks




I have used both Generations G-Chrome and G-Quad inks. The G-Chrome (color)  
inkset is excellent and has an identical gamut to Epson UC inks. They profile  
the same using 
PFP v 2.
The G-Quad inkset offers a wide range of B/W tones, using QTR and in my  
2200, allows printing bothe matte and photo black using the same inkset. The  
Yellow position holds the Gloss differential cart for Photo K. This inkset  
creates fantastic prints on Silver Rag.
The only problem with these inks is the long drying time. On the 2200,  it is 
necessary to insert little "flags" (supplied by MediaStreet) to hold the  
final rubber rollers in the elevated position in order to prevent wheel marks.  
This is on the Photo K papers only. The glossy finish then has to be handled  
very carefully, as the prints are still wet to the touch as they emerge from 
the  machine.
I would not hesitate to recommend these inks, both the color and the Quads.
