i wouldnt buy imitation ink cartridges for an epson.

i dunn0 if it was just my luck or what...but for like 2 years, i always bought epson ink, and then one day i found such a good deal on imitation cartridges, i figured what the heck... and ever since i put that ink in, my printer printed all fawked up. so i tried another cartridge, and same thing...still fawked up. looked like the cartridge messed up the printer heads. so i went and bought an HP cuz the heads are built into the cartridges and not the printer itself like epsons.

so just be careful with cheap ink
