I recently purchased two sets of generic ink cartridges for my Epson R200. I bought them from supermediastore.com and paid about $17. The ink was manufactured by G&G.

I have been quite pleased withthe results. I can see no difference between the generic ink and the genuine epson ink. I printed close to 150 discs so far and there have been no clogs or any other problems.

I don’t use my Epson for printing photos so I can’t comment on the ink for that purpose.

I am burning my first dual layer media as I speak. I had taped a 2:15 performance and the encoding bit rate would have had to be set at 4200 or so. Personally I don’y like to go much below 5500Mbs.

According to Videohelp.com and CDFreaks Verbatim is about the only reliable dual layer media.

I bought the White Inkjet Dual Layer and I am happy to report it is burning quite nicely at 4x. I tried a few burns at 6X and ended up with some $3 coasters. 4x burns seem like they’re much better.
