I use my old Epson 600 color stylus almost exclusively for photo printing (digital camera), and have used generic cartridges for almost 4 years with excellent results. I just printed out 40--4x6 prints and took them to work to pass around. The comments were more than flattering and focused mostly on the brilliant colors. To achieve enhanced color rendering I bump eveything up x 15% (all colors, saturation and contrast, but leave brightness alone) I use Pictorico glossy photo paper and color cartridges bought off ebay @ a whopping $14(including shipping) for 5 color, and, 12 B&W for $25 (free shipping). That's a total of 17 cartridges for $39!!!

I also tried out a Cannon S300, Epson C-80, Epson 740, but decided the old work horse 600 was good enough for now.
