Here's the deal. If you can get the original cartridges for about the same money or less, then do it. but remember, major manufacturer ink compliations have patents on them. So, these aftermarket fakers cannot exactly duplicate the original ink formula or they'd be infringing on the patent! So, maybe the original is waterproof and the fake is not. Maybe the original is guaranteed not to get stale and the fake is not. Maybe the original drys faster than the fake. Maybe the orginal has greater lightfastness (resists fading) than the fake. Who knows, whatever the case may be, there will MOST LIKELY be some loss in document quality for using a replacement ink cartridge as opposed to the original. So, if you can get the original for cheaper than do it. It the fake costs about as much as the original, then go ahead a spring the extra couple bucks or so and get the orginal!

These cartridges work as well as the real thing. What am I saying? These are the real thing. The price is right (even with shipping.) and I sure beats trying to refill cartridges with syringes.
