HP LaserJet 4150N for most print jobs, but the Canon MG6100 for color.

I use a Brother laser printer for the usual 8.5x11 B&W copies and I have an Epson 4880 for making art prints.
Which generic inks are you using and are they trouble free for you? How does the color compare to the Epson inks?

Ancient Stylus Photo 1200 wide format that takes generic carts, and I can refill them with bulk archival ink.

Using the our new Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4630 and love it, super fast.
On generic ink. Our Epson Artisan 837 was fine until we ran about 2 or 3 sets of generics from a seller on
Amazon. I'm pretty convinced that's what clogged up the Black nozzles. It was used nearly every day sometimes
as many as 40-50 pages per day sometimes as few 1 or 2.
As far as color printing with generics, I couldn't tell any difference quality wise when printing photos but then
the black clogged.

Epson 720.
'Till it stopped short, never to go again.
Cuz the inkjet dried.
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive
An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.
You make me pull, I'll put you down.
I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

This has been my experience with Epson printers for years and years!
I used to think the issue was cheap third party ink.
Then, since I received a settlement from Epson, I purchased a ton of Epson genuine ink cartridges. When my Epson inkjet clogged from ONLY using genuine Epson ink (and no amount of cleaning would get them unclogged), it became my LAST Epson.
Switched to HP inkjet - was terrible despite our paying $300 for it.
The Brother we have was the first accessible (<$1000 consumer color laser) printer for home, it's not perfect by any means. But the priorities (like the very cool iOS app to control it) are spot on. Decent color printing that's not too expensive, two-page printing and scanning. Came with wifi (tho we use ethernet now).
If we can't get 4-5 years out of this one that's it for me and Epson. We completely worn out an Epson 740.
It had a few clogs but was always able to get it unclogged but actually wore out the bushings that the head
rode on. We're using it enough that it shouldn't be clogging, printed over a dozen pages today.

Epson is Notorious for clogged jets. even with epson ink.
they're nice for the short time they work.
Oh I know they are but they also print the best looking photos IMO. The 837 was the first Epson I haven't
been able to unclog. I've always been an advocate of use them or lose them when it comes to Epsons.
