R200 & Sam's Stratitec Ink

[juststarting]

Has anyone been using the Sam's Club Stratitec ink long enough to tell whether it clogs or not. Colors decent? 510ml for roughly $9--seems like a really good deal if the ink is decent.

Thanks in advance!!!!

I dont use a R200 but I use a lexmark Photo printer and I have used their ink for years without a hitch.

I've been using it on my R300 and CIS for about 6 months and so far so good

Colors are good to very good. Black values seems a bit light but that may be my imagination. Just make sure you view, judge and adjust your printouts in the same light conditions as you intend for them to be viewed. There is a little bit of metamerism when you view prints made under house incandescent lights and them viewed under office flourescent or window daylight. Prints display a minute bit of a magenta-ish cast.

I bought my 6 bottles each of this ink and so far have not regreted it.

I print on EPSON premium gloss available anywhere and ILFORD Printasia Gloss Paper available at COM USA.

Haven't used them in my Epson yet, but did use them in previous HP.

I print invoices, business cards, and outdoor signage, and have several printouts over 1 year old. Outdoor signage subjected to brutal Florida sunshine. No visible difference between Stratitec and original HP, or Epson, ink printouts.

BTW, if you make outdoor signs with an inkjet, and they get a lot of sun, minimize your usage of red color as much as possible. It fades the most.
Unfortunately I designed my logo, with lots of red, before discovering this.
