I just ordered my fifth (or maybe sixth) full set of these
seven colors. I've had the printer for two or three years.
I just realized that I should write this review because I
have never had any flaw at all with these cartridges. No
component of any of these has ever failed: not the ink-
dispensing mechanism, not the little built in electronic
gadgets that let the computer tell me how much is left.
The printer nozzles get plugged once in a (great) while, but
they have always responded properly to the self-cleaning cycle.
And the little cartridges have never leaked at all when I
pull out the empties to throw them away.
Also the coverage seems reasonable -I do full-color
photographic prints on 13x19 inch paper, and I'm very happy
with the coverage. I have never done a careful study of
the coverage, but I believe it amounts to somewhere between
1 and 2 dollars per 13x19 sheet.
Oh and the quality of the prints is perfect for photographic
printing. (At high angles if you get glare on the paper you
can see a funny-looking effect that is non-photographic, but
if you care about that I would say you have issues.) In any
normal or remotely normal viewing conditions the prints look
at least as good as photo-lab prints. Better, I think.
For prints of this size, the total cost/quality equation,
compared to what I used to get from (and give to) photo labs
is -miraculous.

When dealing with ink for photographic printers the best bet is to stick with the ink that is reconmended for that printer. That however can lead to issues of overpaying for a name brand, however with this deal from Amazon you are making out. Around where I live the indvidual colors cost between $13 $15 a piece. With this deal, even with shipping you're spending about $10 per color. The saving adds up...

Honest reviews on Epson 7 Color Ink Set with Matte Black for the Stylus Photo 2200
There's nothing as reliable as OEM Epson cartridges, and this deal is a great price for all seven colors. It came in a padded bag and the expiration dates were more than a year away. So if you need more than 3 or 4 colors now, then go for the set. You'll need the others eventually.

This set of 7 colors fits the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Injet Printer. The printer has not been made for many years and has been replaced by other models. It produces professional prints but the cost of the ink is high and appears to be going up as the years go by. In 2008 I purchased this ink set from Adorama for $66.29 exclusive of tax and shipping. The current price is $99.50 also exclusive of tax and shipping and also from Adorama. I don't blame the vendor as it appears that the price of the ink has increased and Adorama (a highly regarded vendor) has no control over this. The inks are capable of producing the very highest quality prints. They do not appear to fade over the course of years and produce accurate looking photos. As long as my printer is functioning I will be buying these inks. I am aware that third party inks are available at a considerable discount but am afraid that quality may suffer.
On second thought, it would be unrealistic not to expect the price of these inks to increase. After all, the price of practically everything else has increased due to inflation. So why not ink?
