I have an Epson Stylus C120 and have used Epson inks ONLY for the two years I've owned it. I would hardly use the printer because I knew how much it would cost me each time I printed. When I did print something, I would use the Fast Economy print setting and would rarely print photos. It would actually cost less money to get photos made at the a copy center. Now that I have the Dye Ink CISS, I print whenever I want to and actually enjoy it because it essentially only costs me the cost of the paper (the ink lasts so long that it is hardly an expense to refill and the whole system cost me as much as two black Epson cartridges from )

My experience setting it up was easy, following the video link given by hotzone360. The only snag that I ran into is that I didn't bleed the system before my first test print. My first print was perfect, then I bled the system and it clogged. I ran the Epson self-cleaning and couldn't get it unclogged. Then I manually cleaned the print heads with a syringe and rubbing alcohol and it still did not unclog. I called Michael at hotzone360 and he was very knowledgeable. It had been a day since I ran the Epson self-cleaning, so he asked me to run another test print and it printed perfectly. Apparently, all it needed was a period of time to set after my initial cleaning. Now it prints fine and I have NOT had ANY issues with clogging since.

In summary, the only thing I can say is don't wait two years like I did with the belief that you better use the Epson brand ink only. That being said, I have found that when printing photos, whether you are using Epson ink or not, it is best to use Epson brand paper.
