the generic ink may come from a reputable site, but reputable sites still arent good enough for epson. trust me, I have 2 lexmarks, 3 epsons, and 5 canons sitting in my study room right next to me, and the canons are the only ones that like generic ink. Lexmark is crap, epsons are decent if you're willing to pay for epson ink.

I only use my epsons for printing to dvd's. otherwise, it's canon.
