It's OK to disagree; different folks have 
different ways of judging results, of course.  

I've tried both Generations and MIS-arc inks 
on Epson Photo Paper, and to my taste, the 
results are "OK" but clearly not up to the 
gamut or brilliance that these same papers 
show with Epson OEM or other dye inks.

There's also the matter of "bronzing" and 
the surface-scum, which have been reported 
by many people who've tried these combinations.

And by the way, were it not for my (stubborn) 
desire to some day produce "archival" prints, 
I'd never have strayed from Epson OEM inks and 
Epson Photo Paper.  (Well, there is the matter 
of trying to save some $$$ of course.)
