What about inkjetcarts.us ?

Does someone on this forum know about the quality of inks provided by this website ? The offers seems to be very interesting, but nothing about real life experience of the inks. Gamut, archival ratings, flow properties (clogging) and glossiness of their pigment inks ?

I once bought a refill kit from their ebay store for my Epson R220 and was not satisfied at all by the quality. I asked many times who was the manufacturer of the ink. Even if they've never clearly mention it, I thought I was getting Image Specialists ink (thay gave many hints leading to that conclusion).

Color accuracy was OK, a bit dull on Kirkland glossy. But, there was a LOT of bronzing in the dark areas and first set of compatible I got from them was not recognized by the printer. They did, however, exchange the defective set for a new one but the ink still produce a lot of bronzing. The ink could be made by OCP as the photo black ink from this brand is known to produce some bronzing on glossy paper.

Eventually, it all ended up with a long and painfull argument with the seller. He wouldn't even recognized the bronzing on test prints I sent him.

Some other people might have had better luck with them. Anyone?
