Title: Parts is NOT parts: Buy the real thing
Review: Can I give this 0 stars (or, as in the old Macworld, a bomb icon!)?I can't believe it. In fact, I didn't believe the other reviewer who said this cartridge was bad. I bought it anyway. Parts is parts, right?Wrong.The print quality was *in no way similar* to the Epson cartridges. Even after numerous nozzle purges, ink splattered all over the page, there were veritcal discolored lines in the photos.Worst of all, it didn't quite fit properly. When I tried to remove it (following the instructions in the Epson manual meticulously) the Dataproducts cartridge got jammed in the cartridge housing (actually stuck onto the "spikes" the open the ink wells... my guess is the covering is not quite the same thickness as the original model) and so the cartridge cover (the purple plastic lid over the cartridge) wouldn't pop up. It took two printer techs almost an hour to extract it, and we were contantly in fear of ruining the printer.
Is the review positive or negative?
