How is the ink quality compared to the standard ink carts that came with the printer? Is this worth getting if I'm printing DVDs?

I didn't notice any difference in the color quality. I have printed pictures and cannot tell a difference between factory and these.

The quality of the pictures either 4x6, 5x7 8x10 that I printed are similar in quality as the original Epson ink cartridges that came with the printer. I actually printed the same picture with both the Epson cartridges and this off brand. You could not tell any difference in the quality of the pictures. I also did another test which was with the photo paper using Epson brand and Costco brand, the results where that the Costco brand photo paper was just as good as the Epson paper that I bought but ALLOT cheaper. Example 200 sheets 4x6 Costco brand for approx. $14.00.

The standard carts are higher quality. I have gotten smudges from the black inkI don't have any experience with DVDs.

I got one of these for my landlady who's ancient Ricoh laser stopped working. I myself have an HP Color LaserJet. The quality produced by her Epson is "better" than my LaserJet ... so much so that I've been considering replacing the LaserJet. Inkjet technology has come an awfully long way since it was first introduced.

Yes - that is the printer I have. So far I have used 3 of the cartridges and have had no problems. Color seems good and no problems with clogging up the inkjets.

Not being there it is difficult to say about the ink smear. Normally I get my paper from WalMart next to the computer section. Georgia Pacific puts out papers made for the InkJets. I prefer the 24 pound weight paper over the 20 pound weight though it is probably a couple of bucks more expensive. Less hassle, paper absorbs the ink better and it has a decent brightness on it. You will have to look up which HP inks work with your printers. Normally HP provides software to tell you that information on the disk that comes with the computer. I normally do not use recycled ink even though it is cheaper. I find that there are very few bargains put out by HP on ink cartridges. Sam's Club has package deals that are better. Personally I use an 8600 deskjet and it uses 950/951 cartridges. I find it to be a pain to keep changing cartridges so I normally get the XL ones that have the extra ink. My other printer uses 564xl cartridges. The office jets hold more ink and last longer. The 309A photo printer I use strictly for quality printer and not production. HP is greedy. They quit making a triple quantity XL for the office jet because it lasts too long. Personally I think they need to have their heads examined. The greatest attraction to me is cheap ink, cheap but quality printer, and low overhead on everything. Our family could easily wear out a printer if the ink was reasonable. I considered one of the newer laser printers for that reason. Haven't upgraded to one yet. I think the laser cartridges are way too expensive for the average home.

According to the specs on your printer you can print directly to printable CD's and DVD's. No reason this product wouldn't workand the color from the gloss finish on this particular DVD creates beautifully, plus it's one of the most reliable brands.Buy it you'll love it.

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

My Epson printer suggests longer drying times on premium surfaces. I assume there less penetration of the inks but there's no evident additional ink required. After you see the exceptional finish of this DVD with premium inks, you really won't care. It's better than the Verbatim finish in my opinion and rarely is there a burning failure.

I understand your concern, that was my concern when I bought these almost 2 years ago. These are fantastic! I have not had any issues with clogged heads or printing quality issues. I print here and there 10-15 pages/week average. I have refilled 2 of the color cartridges but the amount of ink the cartridge hold will last a very long time. Like I said in my first review I think the color quality is better than OEM Epson inks. Hope this helped, plus if you do have any questions Ink Owl is very quick to offer help to resolve the issue.

I have that printer and the disks look great. The cannon software to print on the disks is really generic tho.

I have been using it for last three years. It works great. I saved lots of money in ink.I using it for business purpose, so I use printer a lot for printing DVDs.Only catch is, after about 6000-7000 impressions, printer gives message that it is about time to get a new printer, and it quits...But it works great.

I've definitely had them over three months (in the packaging), and have had no trouble when I've popped a new cartridge in the printer. Quality is good, longevity is good... So far, no problems!When leaving cartridges in the printer for a long period of time, I find that the heads need cleaning because they dry out. Even though this uses up ink, the quality afterward is good. I just do a test print when the quality is funky, to identify the trouble cartridge, and then I clean the heads.

In my experience, the name brand is worth the extra price. The name brand ones last longer and have better print quality.

I bought the MP600 and found out about the CD/DVD printing capability. I bought a new original Canon disk printing tray on ebay (about $20) and setup the printer for disk printing, it was not hard to do. This works beautiful, I can now print on my DVDs and they look like they were store bought and not home made DVDs. This really made me like my MP600 more than ever I recommend it to anyone with one of the Canon disk print compatible printers.

Sorry you are asking the wrong person for this question because I do not have that printer. Any way the cartridges are working ok for documents not photo quality.

The label on the xl200 box says that you can get 2.5 more prints from an XL than a standard cartridge. I can't find the ink liable on the ones that I have. There is not much ink in the standard cartridge that is why it seems cheaper than other cartridges. I have tried using the off brand ones, but have ruined two printers using them. The problem has been leakage. When I took the printer back, they checked to see if I was using the manufactures ink. They would not warrant the printer unless I had a full set of Epson ink cartridges in the printer. I did not so i just ate it. All the manufactures hook us on a cheap printer then make it up on ink sales. Hope this answers your question.

The starter color cartridges that come with it will last awhile if you only occasionally use color. I use it at my business, have had it for about 2 1/2 months, made a lot of copies, and haven't even approached the ink tanks having to be replaced. These are only the starter cartriges. I purchased an "XL" cartrige in black to replace the starter one when it ran out, looks like it will be about 6 months or so before I need to even think about it. The cartriges are not cheap but if they last well beyond what the starter ones do, they're well worth it. Print about 100 - 150 pages per day on average.

They work great in my HP 309 all in one. Very few discards. Burn them before you ink them. It takes a minute for them to dry when they come out, just set them aside if you are batch printing. These are the first printable disks I've ever used and the extra cost for the printable is probably worth it in the long run due to spoilage of the non-printables.
