I don't see much difference in black ink cartridges, but I was using color
catridages from inksell.com in my 785EPX while I was printing the group
photo for the Texas Star Party.  I ran out and replaced them with a real
Epson cartridge.  The difference was so great that I scapped all the prints
with the generic cartidge and vowed never again with the color cartridges.
Black is OK, but the generic color was noticably mutted, and I am partially
color blind.  If I can see it, it must really suck to a normal-sighted
person.
