Because the price is one-twentieth compared to the original, I have dared and ordered the cartridges on Amazon. Were delivered quickly, neatly packaged. The cartridges were immediately recognized by the printer (but only 2 color used) When a cartridge, the film was not stuck down by the printer, then, of course, badly printed. I then scratched the foil with a knife and it worked like a charm, as original prints. I have some printed and I can not find anything negative, the cartridges appear to be even faster as empty as the originals. A few important data yet. My printer: Epson Stylus SX435W Capacity black cartridge: 16ml Capacity color cartridge: 12ml For the price, you trust the things to order, the original manufacturer will remember quiet, that consumers are not stupid and make use of alternatives. I have now used all the colors, even black. There was no problem at all, the printer has detected all, all prints look fabulous and there is much more in the cartridges, as in the original cartridges seem to last forever. In the long term, there is nothing to complain about.
