update. I received different colors, YMC and did a test print of my granddaughter's photo. The new colors are printed the same as the original colors. I didn't see any difference in the pictures. (Original review) After years of messing around with aftermarket inks and printers, I hate buying ink. I looked around and saw that everything was redesigned or something. I'm always afraid to see the low ratings that all aftermarket sellers seem to have, even this one. However, I bought my black one from a Ricoh dealer and it worked right away. I can't tell if it's a reproduction. I sent the old cartridge back in a free return box and printed long before I had to buy inks. I'm ordering paints from the same seller today just because I'm feeling better. Hope the color works as well as black.
