How do you rate the color quality and longevity of photos versus the Epson cartridges?

I do every day printing have not really done a photo on professional photo paper but I did do one on regular plain and it passed my inspection so far Blake cartridges have been era-less in my printer and I print a lot

I'm still using the first of the cartridges in this pack, but haven't noticed any difference in the quality. I've even printed a couple of 4x6 photos and they look fantastic. I'm hoping the cartridges will last as long as the much more expensive Epson cartridges, but only more time will tell.

I purchased V4INK cartrdiges (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RGOJ3M/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and they have been working well the past few months. Please note that I have not done a thorough color comparison - the color images I've printed look pretty good and I am NOT doing any color sensitive work with this printer.

Yes I do and the colors are dull. I would recommend using original 126 Epson inkjet cartridges.

I am interested in what yoiu decide. I am looking at the same two scanners, primarily to scan family slides. The reviews for the Canon seem more consistently favorable. Those for Epson seem to reflect either love or hate.

No experience with the Epson. But I really like my Brother. Sorry, not much help.

Yes I have used them with no problem in my xp-810 They are the only ones that haven't given me a non epson message. I print many pictures and have reordered several times

Depending on the dominant colour in the photos, I would say approx. 60 nice prints. But I change my printing menu to go into override, which allows a few more prints before the colours begin to fade telling me that the cartridge is really gone.

This printer will print "acceptable" photos on good quality photo paper. Color rendition is good for snapshots, but never for archival or media production photos. You are getting what you pay for. If it is high quality you need, you will need a much more expensive printer.

As far as the print quality on plain paper, I don't see any difference. I don't know about photos, and I don't know about how long they will last relative to the originals. I use mine in a printer located in a second home, from which I print things only occasionally, so I can't really compare the Canon ink cartridges on the latter two points.

I've noticed much better results when printing photographs using Epson photograph paper rather than some other brand, probably because the Epson ink is specifically formulated to be used with that specific paper. Do also remember that a copy is really also a photograph. You may need to scan the piece you want to copy and then manipulate the color registration in a program like Photoshop before printing it to get the best results. If Photoshop is beyond your budget, I've also had excellent results with Corel's PaintShop Pro.

I have no way to compare them, but the Epson is plenty fast for my very casual light use.

I am not certain as I have not been able to get mine to print a single photograph yet! Thus far, I have been very disappointed in the product and I hate the color refills. They are unlike anything I have seen before. They remind me of old 8 track tape cassettes. Sorry I could not be of greater help!

Which is exactly why I got rid of it not long after buying it! The color was ALWAYS "off". I was never able to correct it and Epson was no help. I have since purchased two Canon printers (one for home and one for work) and I love them. Good luck!

I do not make Photo quality prints so I really can not answer you question with any certainty, however when using cheap regular printing paper I do see a noticeable difference in the quality, the colors tend to fade and run.

Annna the Sophia cartridges will print photos very well. I have printed over a dozen so far with excellent results. I'm sure you will be pleased.

I'm not quite sure what you standards are on "Photo Quality", I purchased 3 of these to use for my business and it is really living up to my standards. The toner lasts a VERY long time for the volume that I use it, it prints very fast, and I have yet to experience any troubles with the printer. For photo printing you may look at inkjets that are more used for that level of printing. However, this is not to say that the printer does not print well. I am quite satisfied with the level of color printing quality that this printer produces.

I studied that one as an option as well and it was well reviewed but the Epson is LCD and also does 3D. Also the Epson is the leading brand in the category so I went with it.
