Sure, the price for a complete set of original ink compared to the budget providers deters. But! We use the printer very often for photo printing and just as the quality becomes noticeable. In terms of color naturalness - as different as day and night. If No Name vendors we bought 2 sets. Total yellowness. Both ended up in the garbage. Pity for money! If you value quality, the have no choice, as this ink to buy. It sounds very Canon Lastig - but, sadly!
