I can see it just not to waste a lot of money for original cartridges. Therefore I have decided for this cheaper alternative. After changing the cartridges my printer printed only strips and read each one color always made. Everything was given a yellow or blue-stitch ... At first I thought that it was up to the cartridges, while he was yet printed well with the old cartridges at that time. A friend gave me the tip to "paint outlet" with a cloth or paper towel to clean. After that everything worked perfectly again. I do not know how this, I'll call it contact point, could clog or dry in such a short time ... But let bygones be bygones Otherwise, I noticed that the cartridges are empty bit faster than my old man, but at this price I do not find that so bad
