Digital BW, The Print

Ok, I am new to this group, but for the life of me I can not understand that
if you want quality images from your better Epson printers, especially those
that take the K inks why anyone would want to save a few bucks buying
refillable inks if you expect quality images and no problems coming from
your Epson photo printers!!

There is no way I  would subject my r2400 or any other Epson printer for
that matter to 3rd party inks.
